Chinese reverse paintings of glass, a pair C 1920
A rare pair of Chinese reverse painted pictures on glass of the Emperor and Empress.
A very decorative rich and colourful pair of pictures are hand painted in reverse on panes of glass. Unlike traditional artwork, this is a very difficult and highly skilled process where the finest detailing has to be painted first. Both pictures show very similar images, one of the Emperor and the other of the Empress both wearing fabulous elaborately decorated silk gowns. They are seated on an impressive throne chair with white marble carved elephants on blue stands in the background standing on a detailed tiled floor.
These superb paintings are displayed in their original carved hardwood frames with a black lacquered finish. The backs are panelled and held in place with neat rectangular wooden pegs.
On the back, there appears to be old chalked detail from an auction or saleroom, Hinkley, lot 37 library.
The frames have decorative cast brass hanging plates which support the pictures from the centre of the top edge.
The pictures are in good original condition with some minor age-related marks.
Chinese, circa 1920
Height 64cm x width 43cm x depth 20cm
