Circa 1900 Superb Arts and Crafts Strikingly Coloured Painted Oak Casket Attributed to Jessie Bayes Ra.

1900 - 1920
Description

Circa 1900 Arts and Crafts period stunning painted oak casket, attributed to Jessie Bayes, of the renowned Bayes family of artists, brightly decorated with leaves, swirls and shields, on a red ground, and highlighted with gilt borders and plaques. It appears to be a three dimensional version of an illuminated page of a book.

A most unusual antique box, possibly made to commemorate a marriage, as there are beautifully conjoined initials in the cartouche.

Jessie was the sister of Gilbert Bayes, the famous sculptor. She was a member of and exhibited at the Royal Academy from the early 1900's, and was famous for her illuminated painting done in the Arts and Crafts style, particularly her gold work and heraldic decoration. She illuminated many books and even received some commissions to design stained glass.

The entire box is beautifully painted, with heraldic decoration to the sides, very intricate borders, and a sarcophagus shaped lift off lid opening to reveal a plain oak interior.

Size-10 inches long by 5.75 inches deep by 5.25 inches high.

Weight-745 grams.

A most unusual and stunning box for the collector of antique boxes, to use or display.

In very good condition, and truly one of a kind.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this piece to the 1900s.
