Antique Framed Hand Colored Engraved Bookplate Lord Harcourts England 1800s

About the Item

An antique hand-colored engraved bookplate of Nuneham House in Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire, England. This print is professionally framed in a beveled wood frame with a marbled purple mat. The engraving is by John Charles Varrall, a well-known landscape and architectural engraver during his time. (1795 - 1855) The piece is a beautiful engraving of the home sitting upon a lush green landscape. Horses walk in the foreground, and sailboats sail along the river Thames. An elaborate border of architectural motifs surrounds the piece. A banner at the top reads "Le bon temps viendra" meaning, "The Good Times will Come". The home was built for the first Earl Harcourt, Simon Harcourt, a leading courtier of George III, and is a good example of the villa revival style. The house overlooks the River Thames and the Oxfordshire countryside and has been the home of the Harcourt family and their visitors for almost 300 years. Today, the estate is known as the Global Retreat Centre. Printed toward the bottom center is the following: J.C. Varrall , so. Nuneham Courteney OXON Lord Harcourts London, Published by Tombieson & Co 11 Patepnoster Row This piece has not been examined outside the frame. It looks thick, and could possibly have another print behind it, or it may just be a piece of cardboard. Hanging hardware is affixed to the back for easy hanging.

Expressionist Tactile Botanical Oil on Canvas Painting Framed
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
An exquisite example of this artist's traditional take on still-life realism, and a masterpiece in its own rite. This floral painting represents the artist's awe for botanical and floral scenes as well as his or her adept knowledge of tactile painting. With broad sweeping strokes and high texture, the artist paints a portrait of a small circular Ombre deep blue vase, filled with creamy white ranunculus or buttercups with berry color centers, green eucalyptus and small accents of white hydrangea. Oil on canvas. Framed roughly in a small wood frame, with gilt painted accent inside. How we would display: A botanical painting will forever bring a certain feeling of femininity and softness to a room. This piece would be wonderful displayed in a space with too many harsh lines. Alternatively, we suggest hanging this as part of a grouping of other floral portraits on a large wall to add interest. Another favorite of ours for art is to display pieces on their own in a bedroom. Such as a guestroom or child's room. Hung just above a nightstand (we currently love the idea of using a bombe chest), and just above a table lamp, (perhaps a lamp with a Caprani...
