Enid Tray
What a beauty this tray is! The tray features the Chatsworth House in the Derbyshire Dales in England. The stately home has belonged to the Cavendish family since 1549. The owner now is the Chatsworth House Trust, an independent charitable foundation, on behalf of the Cavendish family. Chatsworth House is a Grade one listed house and stables, it has a 105 acre garden, a 1,822 acre park, a farmyard , and a significant art collection.
The artist Patricia Machin was born in 1921. After her war time service as a Captain in the ATS ( the women’s branch of the British Army during the Second World War ) , she studied painting at Goldsmith’s findings from inspirations from the Old Masters. Her tutor was Leonard Applebee, whose subject was still-life, and this became her main focus. She met her husband while living in a small flat in Earls Court, they married in 1949. Patricia painted all her life inspired by the Staffordshire countryside where she made her home. Her work developed into two distinct styles. One - very defined studies with mainly rural backgrounds, Two - highly imaginative with enchanted gardens. She also painted some landscapes and occasionally portraiture.
Her main body of work consisted of oil on canvas paintings. She found commercial success as well, with a variety of illustrated books and reproductions of her work on trays and tea-caddies.
This is a found piece, in great condition. The tray has very tiny scratches on the back, but otherwise in perfect condition and it looks brand new. The tray itself is an emerald green with gold trim around the edges. It features one of Patricia’s beautiful florals filled with roses and poppies and Chatsworth House in the background.
The tray measures about 20 1/4 long by 15 1/4 wide.
