Description:

Gracie Wallpaper Panels early 20th century, 14 panels depicting rabbit, pheasant and duck hunting in the Carolinas; H96" W20"

Provenance: Private collection

Other Notes: Family records say that the panels were painted in the studio of Charles R. Gracie, founder of Gracie Wall Paper, New York, NY. Mr. Gracie took hunting prints to his China Studio, where the Chinese artists painted their interpretation of the hunt scenes. The number of original panels is uncertain and these are believed to be the only panels of these scenes painted by Gracie. The original panels measured 116" in height and 24.58 inches in width. Mr. James Whitfield, AID, Architect, wallpaper designer and co-owner of Jones and Erwin Co., New York , NY purchased the panels from Gracie in the 1940's. In 1951, Mr. Whitfield sold the panels to Sidney M. Dowd of Charlotte and Blowing Rock, NC to use in a home that was never completed. In 1958, Mr. Dowd had Gracie mount the panels as folding screens and used them in conjuction with mirrors in an apartment. In 1964, the apartment was dismantled and the panels were placed in storage until now.
