An original English fairground ride panel dating to the early 20th century, hand-painted with a charming floral arrangement against a warm cream ground and vivid red surround. Its gently curved form, simple painted borders, and beautifully timeworn surface give the piece wonderful graphic presence.
Decorative painted panels such as this formed part of the elaborate visual displays surrounding British fairground rides, where bold color and hand-painted ornament were used to attract visitors across the showground. Fairground decoration became an art form in its own right, produced by specialist painters and workshops throughout England.
Two available. Listed individually.
Dimensions:
52" L x 2.5" D x 30" H
Original painted surface with extensive age-related wear, losses, scratches and old repairs throughout. Wear is consistent with its original outdoor fairground use.
