This beautiful boiserie panel depicting an allegory of Spring and the Arms of France was hand-painted in France, circa 1840. Boiserie is ornate wooden paneling that covered walls and ceilings of luxurious chateaus in France. The use of these panels became more prevalent at the end of the 17th century, before exploding in popularity during the 1700’s, thanks to multiple installations at the Palace of Versailles. Lengthy paintings such as this (ours is over 112 inches long) would often be placed above a doorway, forming a continuous theme with the rest of the room. The arrival of Spring is depicted by four winged cherubs frolicking among pink, white, and yellow flowers. None of the cherubs are clothed, although two of them are draped in colored textiles. The putto on the far left has a billowing peach colored material hanging from the left shoulder as he holds a sheer piece of fabric. The transparent veil stretches across most of the canvas, extending to the right hand of a female cherub wearing a jeweled tiara on the far right. On the same side of the canvas, but more medial, is another putto loosely draped in green fabric. To the left is the fourth cherub, a female with a laurel leaf tiara that is holding onto the edge of the Arms of France. A gold oval medallion, adorned with volute scrolls at the top and bottom, encircles a representation of the coat of arms of France from the Bourbon Restoration (1814/1815-1830). There is a large, curled leaf rising from the top volute with a husked border surrounding the light blue background with three gold fleur de lys. Our magnificent French painting gives off a warm and lively feel. Although it could still be used as part of a boiserie room...

Oil on canvas attributed to Alexandre Calame

*Mid-19th Century British Maritime Oil Painting of Plymouth Breakwater Lighthouse** Circle of Nicholas Cundy A substantial mid-19th-century British maritime oil painting depicting Plymouth Breakwater Lighthouse and the busy waters of Plymouth Sound. The composition is centred on the distinctive lighthouse rising above the breakwater, surrounded by sailing vessels, small craft and larger naval ships. A prominent three-decker warship appears at the left of the scene, lending the painting a strong sense of scale and reflecting Plymouth’s importance as one of Britain’s principal naval ports during the 19th century. The handling of the sea, shipping and atmospheric sky is closely associated with the British marine painting tradition. The work may be considered within the circle of Nicholas Condy, the Plymouth-born marine painter celebrated for his views of local shipping, naval activity and coastal waters. This attribution is offered as a stylistic assessment rather than a confirmed authorship. The painting is presented in a decorative gilt frame and has a strong period presence. Its wide panoramic format makes it particularly suitable for display above a fireplace, console table, library chest...
