19th Century Hand Painted Floor Screen with Six Portraits

About the Item

This is a rich-looking 19th-century hand-painted floor screen with a portrait gallery. The materials make it 19th-century, but the subjects are dressed in 18th-century attire. We are not certain if the portrait gallery started as a screen or was later repurposed into a screen. It is made from six canvases fused, two per panel. The fact that the six canvases fit well onto the wood frame suggests they were originally meant to originate as a screen, but the premise remains undecided as the artwork is unsigned and unidentified. However, based on the style and techniques, it is our opinion that it is American rather than European. All the subjects seem to have a familial connection and supportive roles. Three of the subjects are depicted looking directly at the artist and displaying expressions of authority. The older gentleman conveys intellect and leadership and the older woman a domiciliary expression of firmness and family matriarchy. Each portrait is encircled with a medallion of Rococo scrolls having sprays of foliage hinting they are historical figures of noble lineage. The screen is the ideal accessory for anyone fascinated by the study of portraits and images of 18th-century life. Overall: H= 69 in. W= 72 in. D= 12 in. 50 lbs. Each Panel: H= 69 in. W= 24 in. D= 1 in.

Mid-19th Century English Aesthetic Movement Four Panel Screen of Birds Paintings

Located in Chicago, IL

This exquisite circa 1850 English four-panel folding screen is a fine example of 19th-century craftsmanship and artistry. Folding screens, originally popularized in ancient China for displaying fine art, became highly sought-after in Europe for their functionality and decorative appeal. Crafted from durable mahogany wood, the frame features clean lines complemented by hand-carved spindles at the top, a hallmark of the era's design aesthetic. Square mirrors beneath the spindles add both practicality, allowing for dressing or spatial enhancement, and elegance. The true highlight of this screen lies in its hand-painted oil canvases, inspired by the style of renowned wildlife artist John James Audubon. Each panel showcases a different avian scene with remarkable attention to detail. The first panel depicts herons in a serene riverbed setting, their long legs and intricate feathers rendered with lifelike precision. The second panel features a pair of flamingos wading in a tropical landscape, their pale pink hues contrasting beautifully against muted grays and greens. The third panel captures egrets surrounded by cattails and grasses, their graceful forms echoing the natural curves of their surroundings. Above these larger panels, smaller square panels depict eastern bluebirds...
