Chinese Reverse Glass painting circa 1790.

Offered by: Clinton Howell Antiques

Description
Chinese reverse glass painting circa 1790 with particularly fine detail. Chinese reverse glass painting was popular from its first introduction in the 17th century. Country houses, if there was a penchant for Chinoiserie, would almost always have one example. The rococo frame on this example is signed, W. Thomas, a wood carver who opened premises in Little Venice in London after the war and who proceeded to become the "go-to" shop for dealers wishing to re-gild or repair frames.
