ARTIFACT:
This circa 1890s - early 1900s hanging sign is a piece in high British Arts & Crafts styling by renowned British artist A. W. Kiddie. It most likely depicts a famous home in the United Kingdom, probably commissioned by the owner. It is all hand-hammered in repouss??, lending it two dimensions, and has lovely patination! Born in 1844 as a Scot destined to be a world traveler, Kiddie sailed for three years and then stumbled into engineering, both experiences that fueled his emerging passion for designing yachts and building ship models. Kiddie worked in different media as an artist, including ivory, wood and metal, and has had works housed in such venues as the South Kensington Museum, the Liverpool Museum and the British Museum.
