Antique Framed English Theatre Plaster Panel
About the Item
An antique framed English theatre plaster panel circa 1890, reputedly removed from the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London on its refurbishment in 2019-2021.
A relic of the old west end, this framed plaque captures a section of plaster frieze, likely once part of a larger architectural design. Perhaps it once decorated the balcony of the Grand Circle or edged the ceiling of the theatre’s impressive foyer. In original condition with old paint and wear from it's removal, this ornate theatrical plaster panel features a green man mask cast in relief among swags and foliage, mounted in a later pine frame.
It is inscribed in pencil to the reverse: ‘Plaster panel from Theatre Royal BFR London, refurb’.
Provenance
The Theatre Royal Drury Lane remains to this day one of London’s most famous theatres. Though destroyed by fire, demolished and remodelled over the years, the theatre has resided at the site on Drury Lane since 1663, making it the world’s oldest theatre site in continuous use. The current theatre was designed by English architect Benjamin Wyatt (1775-1855) in 1812. It is a Grade I listed building.
