Description

A Late 19th Century Aesthetic Movement Ebonised Corner Wall Shelf in the Eastlake Style

Previously purchased from the historic Peter Jones store in Sloane Square, London, this elegant corner shelf showcases the timeless appeal of the Aesthetic Movement.

Featuring five shelves—three central and two smaller, galleried shelves with decorative turned finials—it offers both style and functionality. The central section is adorned with a mirrored back, while the top and bottom shelves feature delicately hand-painted floral panels set against a gilded background, characteristic of the period. Fluted and gilded accents along the sides and shelf fronts add a touch of refinement, providing a nice contrast to the ebonised frame.

A charming and practical addition to any space, this piece embodies the beauty and craftsmanship of late 19th-century design.

FAQs

The Aesthetic Movement emerged in the late 19th century, prioritising art for arts sake and drawing heavy inspiration from Japanese design, often featuring ebonised surfaces, gilded highlights, and delicate painted motifs.

These pieces were typically constructed from secondary hardwoods such as beech or birch that were stained or painted black to imitate ebony, often combined with mirrored glass panels and hand-painted decorations.

Authentic pieces usually exhibit period-appropriate joinery, oxidisation and foxing on the original mirrored glass, hand-brushed gilt details, and genuine wear consistent with age.

This piece works well mounted in an empty room angle to draw the eye upwards, serving as a striking focal point while displaying small decorative objects against the reflective mirrored backdrop.

Dust gently with a dry microfibre cloth, avoid using chemical polishes or modern cleaning sprays, and protect the piece from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to preserve the ebonised finish and gilt work.
