Cecily Le Mesurier, Amersham by LNER, watercolour, seemingly unsigned, 29.5x19.5cm. Condition report:Not inspected out of the frame and mount. We cannot see the signature so the description has been amended. The gouache is patchy throughout, more noticeable to the lilac borders, and lower border. The cerise of the main tree trunk is also a bit thin near the squirrel, presumably in the application. The lettering has some Chinese white touching up, presumably to get the type font correct. There is a horizontal dark line just about the mountain tops . No evident tears or repairs to the paper.

Some historic worm activity is evident to the hood frieze. Various adaptations to the upper section of the case and hood. Crossbanding sections missing to the trunk, dor, and base section. The base has a heavy 3cm tide line from the floor where it has been stood on a damp floor over the years.

A set of four Chinese embroidered panels of 'four noble ones'20th centuryEmbroidered with bamboo, orchid, prunus and chrysanthemum respectively, accompanied with a poem to the top left corner, framed and glazed.Each 92cm x 31.5cm excluding frame. (4)二十世紀 刺繡‘四君子’掛屏四幅‘Four gentlemen’ or ‘four noble ones’, in Chinese sijunzi 四君子, is the name that is given collectively to the four plants of prunus, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. A popular subject in painting, both of birds and flowers and of ink painting, since at least the Song dynasty, these plants are often depicted separately; when depicted together they represent the four seasons.The plum blossom, representing winter, also symbolises endurance to adversity, as it blooms through ice to herald the spring. It also serves as a metaphor of inner beauty and humble display against adverse conditions. Growing on gnarled old branches, looking fresh and pure, plum blossoms can also symbolise vigour in old age.The wild orchid, growing in inaccessible areas such as crevices in rocks overlooking rivers or streams, easily overlooked, are a symbol of spring, but also of virtue of simple beauty, in virtue of their looks but also of their subtle, yet persistent fragrance.Bamboo, representing summer in this set, is a symbol of strength, both physical and mental, as it stands erect, but in the strongest of gales it bends and sways, but will not break. Its hollow trunk is also considered a symbol of humility. Together with prunus and pine, another evergreen, bamboo constitutes a different group, known as ‘the Three Friends of Winter’.Chrysanthemum, beautiful and colourful, represents autumn. As it blooms in autumn when all other flowers are fading away, it symbolises the ability to withstand adversity. It is tranquil and harmonious with others, but also dignified and indomitable.
