How to find info re old painting on glass with mother of pearl paint. Probably 18th century?
I just saw 2 of these paintings of ships, (ships look like old chinese sail ships) with castle that has spanish tiles on roof, and another with boats and lighthouse and storm.
The mother of pearl added in the painting is really nice.
Old frames look pretty original. How do you find more info on something like this in Rhode Island.
Hi! Eglomise, or reverse glass, paintings are very beautiful and harbor scenes can be quite rare. The quality of the work is of the utmost importance as there are pieces being produced today in this manner. I would call or go over to the Rhode Island School of Design Museum on Benefit Street and ask for advise on how to research these pictures http://www.risd.edu/museum.cfm .....or contact a local fine arts appraiser to view them for you as I 'm assuming you're contemplating purchasing them. Perhaps the seller will allow you to take a photo of them. Good luck!
