About the Item

PRESENTING an EXCEPTIONAL Pair of Monumental English Regency Framed Italian 18C Painted Tapestries/Paintings. We are of the firm opinion, that these tapestries were made and hand-painted in Northern Italy, in the latter half of the 18th Century, circa 1760-80. Probably in the region of Florence or Milan. It really is a ‘quandary’ as to whether these should be described as tapestries or paintings. Each tapestry/work of art appears to be hand-painted on a burlap canvas back. Each is mounted in a mahogany, custom made, frame. The frames are un-mistakeably, English Regency, circa 1780-1820. The rear was originally lined with a gold velvet that has since decayed and been removed, but there is still evidence of the original. We have not re-lined it, as we think this would be a very easy repair for the buyer, with cloth and color of their choice. The first tapestry features a ‘Romeo & Juliet’ style scene, with the gentleman serenading the lady by playing a Mandolin (a classically Italian instrument) in a garden setting. Both are in more high-end/elegant period attire. The second tapestry, features a more rustic type scene, with the gentleman again serenading the lady but this time with bottles of ‘Chianti’ clearly involved, in a scene of merriment and harvest. Both are in period attire, but much more rustic in style. They were obviously brought to Britain in the late 18th Century, as the Custom Made Mahogany frames are unmistakably ‘British Regency’ in style and construct. As the Regency Period spanned from circa 1780 to 1820 and the frames were obviously custom made then, the tapestries must predate this. We are of the opinion that these tapestries were bought by a wealthy British person as part of their ‘Grand Tour’. There is evidence of creasing on the tapestries and in our opinion this shows that they were folded and sent back to Britain in the late 18th or very early 19th Century. The original buyer, then commissioned his British cabinetmaker, to custom make the mahogany frames to display them. The frames on their own, are OUTSTANDING examples of Regency craftsmanship, with fluted and reeded edges, and a tree motif (an oak or sycamore tree) carved at the end of each side of the frame. Obviously, the craftsman’s signature! Both end in deep, reeded and fluted platform feet, making them very stable. HIGHLY, HIGHLY IMPORTANT EXTREMELY RARE AND FINE QUALITY FRAMED TAPESTRIES/PAINTINGS/WORKS OF ART from circa 1760-80. You will NOT find another Pair like this ANYWHERE! Provenance: These tapestries/paintings were acquired by a High-end Collector at Auction from Christies in London circa 30 years ago and she paid a significant sum for them at that time. They have remained in her Private Collection in Texas ever since. Condition: The frames have some minor scuffing on the feet with age. The ‘Romeo’ Tapestry is near mint. The ‘Rustic’ one has 3 minor tears (see photos) and some very minor water damage towards the base. But does not adversely affect the piece’s beauty and quality. Original velvet backing gone but can be easily replaced with fabric of choice. Dimensions: Each is 120 inches tall, 60 inches wide and 35 inches deep at the feet.
