A fine quality George III Sheraton pole screen, a remarkable artifact from the year 1790. It’s a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Sheraton period, constructed from the finest quality satinwood.
The pole screen features an adjustable oval stumpwork, a type of embroidery where the stitched figures are raised from the surface of the work to form a 3-dimensional effect. This stumpwork showcases a vibrant harvest scene, meticulously embroidered on silk.
What sets this piece apart is the extraordinary detail in the painted faces. Each face is remarkably well-preserved, retaining the original colours and demonstrating the artisan’s attention to detail. The colours remain vivid and bright, a testament to the quality of the materials used and the care taken in its preservation.
In summary, this George III Sheraton pole screen is not just a piece of furniture, but a piece of history, embodying the elegance and refinement of the Sheraton period. Its excellent condition and
... the retained vibrancy of its colours make it a valuable collector’s item. It’s a true embodiment of artistry and craftsmanship from the late 18th century.
