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 magnificent overmantle combines various materials such as wood, lacquer, porcelain, and marble to create a visually captivating masterpiece. Originally made for the Oak Parlour at Heath Old Hall in Wakefield for Edward Green, this overmantle later found its home at Ken Hill in Norfolk. Its journey from one grand estate to another speaks to its timeless beauty and enduring appeal. The intricate carvings on the wood panels depict elegant profiles of both men and women, showcasing the Victorian aestheticism prevalent during that era. The use of lacquer adds a touch of sophistication while the blue and white porcelain roundels add a pop of color against the white background. This overmantle not only serves as an architectural element but also doubles as an artistic statement with its combination of different mediums. It seamlessly blends traditional elements with influences from Japonisme - evident in the use of lacquer and porcelain - creating a unique fusion that captures attention. The Edward Green Overmantle is truly a testament to Jeckyll's talent as well as his ability to create pieces that transcend time and continue to captivate audiences today.
