Item Description
This is a great find - a naive folk art verre eglomise (reverse glass painting) icon-like framed glass painting of St. George slaying the Dragon. These typically originate from Russia or Georgia, although not exclusively. I think this is likely Georgian. They are also a little hard to date as the style does not change that much so this could be anywhere from late C19th to mid C20th.
Beautiful, rich, saturated colours of red, greens and gold with the horse in a creamy-white and the armour in a blue-grey. Written in Cyrillic 'St. George'. Absolutely charming work of naive folk art. In a wooden frame and with a hanging string and a hanging loop top back. I would be tempted to paint the frame gold to complement the picture but I will leave that up to the purchaser.
Condition: Very good with no problems at all.
Postage: I always pack everything extremely well to ensure safety in transit. Postage to the UK is free and includes proof of posting and a tracking number. I always send a photograph of the postage label to the customer on despatch for peace of mind. If you wish this posted overseas please contact me first for a price.
