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...

Miniature Terrestrial Globe Newton & Son London, Post 1833, Ante 1858
Located in Milano, IT
Miniature Terrestrial Globe
Newton & Son
London, post 1833, ante 1858
Paper, papier-mâché, bronze and wood
It measures: sphere diameter 2.95 in (7.6 cm); diameter of the wooden base 6.02 in (15.3 cm); height 8.36 in (21.24 cm).
Weight: 2,067 lb.
State of conservation: the globe still bears its original paint, but has various small gaps, abrasions and stains on the surface.
The globe is hinged with two pins at the meridian circle, which is in turn inserted perpendicular to the horizon circle; this is supported by four semi-arches connected at the bottom by a small goblet-shaped foot, resting on a wooden bell-shaped base.
Apart from the wooden base, the entire support structure is made of bronze; on the foot there are the scale reproductions of a compass, a telescope and an open book.
The sphere is made of papier-mâché and is covered with twelve printed paper gores.
In the North Pacific Ocean the globe bears a cartouche with the inscription (about 30% of the writing is illegible, but the missing parts can be easily integrated based on the rest):
NEWTON’S
New & Improved
TERRESTRIAL
Globe
Published by Newton & Son
66 Chancery Lane
LONDON
On the globe, much of central Africa is empty and the great lakes Tanganyika and Victoria are not marked (Europeans would begin to explore the area after 1858). Canada is called "British Territory" and Alaska "Russian Territory" (it would become part of the United States in 1867). Australia already bears its modern name (until 1829 it had been called New Holland) and its coasts are completely designed; Tasmania is listed as an island (Matthew Flinders circumnavigated it in 1798). The routes of Cook's various voyages are plotted; both the route followed by Biscoe in 1831 and the "Land of Enderby" which he discovered on the coast of Antarctica, south of Africa, are marked.
