This lot comprises a collection of framed wall decor featuring various media and subjects. Included are two landscape works on paper depicting misty scenes of the Norfolk Broads, one featuring a windmill and the other showing traditional sailing vessels. Both landscapes bear the signature D.F. Dane in the lower left corner and are presented in gilt frames with blue-ruled mounts. Also present is a large-scale botanical collage still life, constructed from various dried natural materials including maple leaves, seed heads, and textured bark to form a floral arrangement in a vase. This piece is mounted on a vertically striped textile support and housed in a thin gilt frame. The collection includes a framed needlepoint sampler titled A CELEBRATION OF ENGLISH GARDENS, featuring cross-stitch horticultural motifs such as topiary, butterflies, and floral borders within a green mat and wooden frame. Completing the group is a rectangular wall mirror set within a simple dark wood frame.
Condition report:
The items are in generally fair condition, showing signs consistent with storage in a workshop environment. Visible surface dust is present across all frames and glass. The paper supports of the landscape works show minor instances of discolouration and possible light foxing. The botanical collage appears largely intact, though the dried organic components are inherently fragile. The frames exhibit minor surface scuffs and wear to the gilt and wood finishes.
