Description

Here is a beautifully delicate painted portrait panel attributed John Randall, one of Coalport's best know and respected artists who specialised in the paintings of Sevres-style exotic birds in landscapes, and then later in his career by the 1860's moving to more naturalistic portraits of birds of prey. This panel probably dates to the early half of the 19th century.

This beautiful little jewell-like panel measures 10cm by 6cm unframed, but comes presented in its original gilded frame, measuring . Whilst unsigned, the panel has an old paper label on the reverse attributing the work to Randall, and certainly the subject matter, execution and skill all point to this being his work.

The panel is in superb condition as I hope the photographs show - bright and vibrant with no scratches or wear. The little gilded frame has the gentle surface wear to be expected as a piece of this age, but I personally feel that this adds to its character and enjoy the fact that it is still n its original frame.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can help in any way, or provide more photographs or information.

I offer free delivery across mainland UK, and am very happy to help with quotes for shipping abroad.

FAQs

A painted porcelain plaque is a piece of fine ceramic art where designs are hand-painted onto a porcelain tile or panel, often fired at high temperatures to vitrify the pigments, and typically displayed in a decorative frame.

These works typically utilised a hard-paste or soft-paste porcelain base, decorated with enamels containing metallic oxides to achieve vibrant colours, followed by multiple kiln firings to set the pigments permanently.

Authentication involves examining the glaze consistency, looking for artist signatures or factory marks on the reverse, inspecting wear patterns on the frame and porcelain, and assessing the fineness of the brushwork under magnification.

Such pieces function effectively as focal points in gallery wall arrangements or mounted singly against dark, moody wall colours to highlight the intricate details and gilded framing.

Preservation requires keeping the item out of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, and dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth without chemical cleaners.
