About the Item

This fine painted decorated planter in the manner of Angelica Kauffman was created in England circa 1890 to 1900. Hepplewhite in style the planter was made in England during the Edwardian era. This time saw a great rise in revival styles and culminated with the out break of the first world war. Hepplewhite design is most often associated with fine detail contrasting wood veneers and inlay , delicate painted details and a definite reference to historical precedents. Referencing Kauffman herself the piece is reminiscent of works in her historical painterly style. She i known to have painted a number of commissions on furniture while living in England as well a being one of only two female founding members of the Royal Academy. She classified herself as a painter of historical imagery but is also known for her many significant painting and portraits and scenes of late 18th century upper class life. Many engravings used as pattern survive giving her style and work a great reach in paint decorated furniture with broad appeal and influence on many craftsmen wishing to imitate her work. This piece of circular form on splayed legs is made of satinwood veneers bordered by mahogany and then painted with bell flowers, swags of roses, and three delightful portraits of fashionable late 18th century ladies in landscapes withing ribbon festooned ovals. It once had a zinc or copper planting container that could be removed but this is now gone. The planter has an old finish but is in good working order.
