About this piece
back to topA pair of early 19th century handcarved gilt oak wall hangings originating from Millearne House in Perthshire, Scotland (now demolished).
Once an architectural feature of Millearne’s interior, these triangular shaped carvings likely framed an internal arch or doorway of the gothic revival manor, complementing the plasterwork of the lavish vaulted ceilings said to be created by the plasterer, Alexander McQueen.
Each is carved with scrolling thistle decoration and finished in gilt paint with a charming timeworn finish that only adds to their decorative appeal. Highly intricate and with a unique story to tell, these antique carved gilt oak wall hangings will make stunning decor pieces on an interior wall, each fitted with two hooks to the top for hanging.
Millearne House, Perthshire
Built in the early 19th century by architects Robert & Richard Dickson, this Tudor/gothic style manor house is sadly no longer standing in its original form. Now a stripped back wedding venue, large parts of the house were demolished in 1969 as it became unwieldy and unmanageable due to the constant additions and renovations continuously added since 1821. Every room was a tribute to gothic architecture, including ceilings drawn from Crosby Hall in London, chimneys from Thornbury castle, oak ceilings from New Walsingham Church in Norfolk and a fireplace from Windsor Castle.
