About this piece
back to topA highly decorative black Chinoiserie fireplace dating from the 1920s. With its straight lines and angular proportions, this impressive Japanned mahogany antique fireplace looks as at home in a 20th century townhouse as it does a more modern setting. The black lacquerwork finish is finely hand painted with a range of Chinoiserie inspired motifs and oriental scenes including figures, buildings and trees. To the bottom of the right-hand jamb, it is signed by the artist, inscribed with ‘W. E. R. Scott’.
