A most charming vintage painting of three swallows perched on a cherry blossom branch. Based on research, the image first appeared on the May 1924 cover of PICTORIAL REVIEW, a women’s magazine founded in 1899 which ran until 1937 (see last photo). This painting is a faithful reproduction of that image–I have been unable to determine who created the original art, both the one that appeared in the magazine and this one. It’s hard to tell what the medium is–it’s applied very thinly but with great skill, creating visual depth and texture. The wood is plywood, left untreated in the back. There’s a hole at the top for hanging; thread your own ribbon through it for a unique accent. It measures 16″ x 12″ x 3/8″ and is in very good preowned vintage condition. There are hairline splits on the top surface consistent with the age of the wood and some water staining in the back. I estimate it dates from as early as 1925 to the mid-20th century.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
