About the Item

A rare and impressive hall bench / settle from Moreton Hall in Lancashire United Kingdom, circa 1830s. Made of oak featuring serpentine hand carved form with lion passant holding an acorn, heavy acanthus leaf foliate and swags. The bench showcases impressive dog bone arms with ornate scrolling. The seat is supported by robust legs carved throughout with scrolled foot over plinth. The settle is a true masterpiece! Included with the bench is an original antique oil painting of the great house. The painting is by Harry Bloomfield (1883-1941) Moreton Hall, Whalley, was situated on the lower slopes of Whalley Nab, off the road from Whalley towards Accrington (now the A680) about a quarter of a mile from Portfield Bar and just over a mile South-South-East of Whalley. The Hall was a Jacobean style mansion built in 1833 by John Webster of Kendal (who also built the nearby Read Hall and its Lodge) for John Taylor. The house itself was demolished in 1955 as a result of "Damage from Requisitioning in World War II". However, the Lodge, also built in 1833, remains at the gateway to the estate. The lodge bears John Taylor's Latin initials (IT). Harry Bloomfield was a British impressionist painter of Jewish origin, born in Bucharest (Romania) on February 23, 1883. He lived between Brussels and Paris, affiliated with the circle of artists at Montparnasse, among them Renoir and Guillaumin. He painted portraits, nudes, landscapes and still lifes in the style of the impressionists. His works stood out for their lyricism, fullness, free form and vigorous execution, denoting his taste for construction in the style of Cézanne.
