EDITORS COMMENTS
The Edward Green Overmantle, c. 1875, is a stunning piece of art that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail of its creator, Thomas Jeckyll. This print captures the intricate beauty of this overmantle, which was made from wood, lacquer, porcelain, and marble. Originally created for the Oak Parlour at Heath Old Hall in Wakefield for Edward Green, this masterpiece now resides in Ken Hill, Norfolk since 1888. The overmantle features carved wooden panels adorned with delicate roundels depicting blue and white porcelain plates. These roundels add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall aesthetic. The profile portraits showcased on this overmantle are reminiscent of Victorian style portraiture with their meticulous detailing and lifelike representation. The use of lacquer further enhances the visual appeal by adding a glossy finish that complements the rich colors used throughout. With its architectural design elements and incorporation of japonisme influences, this artwork exemplifies both classic Victorian aesthetics as well as contemporary artistic movements. Its presence commands attention in any space it occupies while simultaneously evoking a sense of history and cultural significance. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricacy present within The Edward Green Overmantle without being physically present before it. It serves as a testament to Jeckyll's talent as an artist while also preserving an important piece of British heritage.
