Set of Four Art Deco Wildlife Marquetry Panels by Richard Graefe.
A striking set of four 20th century, in the Art Deco style, wildlife marquetry panels by by Richard Graefe Ltd, High Wycombe, depicting a stag, lion, tiger and eagle in their natural habitats.
Each panel is skilfully executed in a variety of contrasting specimen timbers, using the natural colours and grains of the wood to create richly detailed landscapes and lifelike animal studies. The four compositions feature a majestic stag against a mountainous backdrop, a resting lion in an African landscape, a tiger in a tropical setting and an eagle perched high above a dramatic rocky gorge.
Each panel is housed in its original dark-stained wooden frame, complementing the warm tones of the marquetry. Incised into the wood designs are 'Richard Graefe' and 'copyright'.
An attractive and unusual decorative set, combining fine craftsmanship with the bold naturalistic imagery characteristic of the Art Deco period.
