An Unusual Set of 4 Early 20th Century Painted Soldiers on Panel

1900 - 1920
Description

An unusual set of four painted wooden panels depicting British soldiers from different regiments dating back to 1572, each inscribed to the reverse with details of the regiment portrayed and the relevant date. The painted panels bear certain similarities to the work of E. V. Howell, the British officer and artist who, following injuries sustained during the First World War, produced a series of painted military figures on wooden boards. Whilst no direct attribution is suggested, as his style cut out soldiers standing on a base, the present group shares a comparable format and spirit, and may similarly have been created by a serving or former soldier with a particular interest in military history and regimental dress.

Measurements: 21.5 cm x 14 cm (each)

British, early 20th century

Declaration

Rob Hall Antiques has dated these Antique Painted Soldier Panels to the 1920s.

This unusual set of four early 20th century painted wooden panels depicts British soldiers from different regiments dating back to 1572, with each board inscribed to the reverse with details of the regiment portrayed and the relevant date. The hand-painted figures wear red and brown uniforms with white cross-belts, dark trousers, and varied headwear including black shakos, tricornes, and caps, set against neutral earthy backgrounds. The group shares a comparable format and spirit to the work of E. V. Howell, produced by a serving or former soldier with an interest in military history and regimental dress. Each rectangular panel measures 21.5 cm x 14 cm. Such decorative pieces suit placement above a sideboard in a gentleman's library or study, contributing historical interest to a wall display. The wooden boards show natural surface wear, aging, and distress to the painted finish and edges from age. The set brings traditional military motifs into interior schemes without requiring extensive wall space.

FAQs

Military panel paintings and uniform studies were created as decorative regimental artwork, folk art commemorations, or theatrical props depicting historical uniform evolution.

These artworks were executed in oil or tempera paint directly onto solid wood or plywood boards, often using hand-mixed pigments and finished with a clear protective varnish.

Authentic period panels demonstrate natural timber shrinkage, slight paint flaking or craquelure, edge wear, and accurate historical details in uniform tailoring and weaponry.

They can be displayed together as a gallery wall grouping, rested against dark painted walls in a study, or mounted above traditional furniture to create historical visual accent points.

Dust gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoid applying wet cleaning solutions, and store the panels away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent timber movement.
