About the Item
19th century Folk Art Wartime relationship commemorative plaque
We are proud to offer a rare and unique commemorative wartime relationship plaque, depicting handcrafted sections and scenes, including an old ruined castle, Irish crested plaque joined by an American and French flag detailed with lead material stars, and to the right of the plaque a ruined house with primitive painted houses and trees in the background signed Killoff Castle. A twisted rope carved frame and all hand painted with the message stating, “to Mr Bownam from FW Powell” We assume this rare folk-art plaque would likely have been a gift of sorts from FW Powell to Mr Bownam, in exchange for shelter or just a friendship that formed in wartime. Quite a remarkable untouched piece of true folk art and a complete one-off example.

- Late 17th/Early 18th Century Polychrome Tobacconist Figure Sign Folk Art CarvingLocated in Lowestoft, GBA large carved and polychrome painted tobacconist's figure almost certainly 17th or early 18th century For a related example see Edward H. Pinto, Treen and other Wooden Bygones, Bell and Hyman, London 1969. Page 412, plate 436. Originally this may well have been a tobacconist's shop window figure. For a similar, but slightly earlier unpainted example, see Sotheby's, The W. J. Shepherd collection of treen, 30th November 1983, Lot 393, illustrated in Pinto "Wooden Bygones of Smoking and Snuff Taking", plate 1. Carved wooden figures, often painted, were placed outside tobacconist's shops as signs from the 17th century onwards. The earliest of these figures is the 'black boy' or 'blackamoor'. 'At the sign of the black boy' or 'at the sign of the blackamoor' was a popular address for tobacconists since the early 17th century. The 17th century figures...Category
