Large modern abstract painting on board by Sylvia Ortega - 004

Large modern abstract painting on board by Sylvia Ortega - 004On our last buying trip to France we met Sylvia by chance and got talking about her interest in antiques and the fact she was an artist. We looked at her work and I fell in love with it immediately. She works with acrylic paint mixed with gesso and paints onto board giving her artwork a wonderful thickness and texture. This example is a striking abstract modern piece with a great colour pallet suitable for a huge amount of interiors. To me the main

The top outer boarder is covered in brass flowers

The thin cabriole legs with the kidney shaped lower shelves really do add a lot to the design

Solid condition and totally original

This piece has not been touched or changed in its entire life which is a rare thing to find

Measurements Height 73cm Width 220cm Depth 92cm Depth of seat 61cm Height of seat 42cm

Green material is clean but we still would recommend upholstering this

Back right leg has been repaired but now all solid

Great proportions making it an ideal everyday armchair

The segmented mirror design makes this hugely decorative and it is a great size too

This would have originally had a button back which we can reinstate should you want us to upholster

This is a very attractive English Edwardian wingback armchair in earlier style

The design and and size is fabulous but what really sets this apart is the unique Dodo head details on the legs
