Similar mahogany palettes associated with professional artists from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including documented examples bearing artists’ names and inscriptions, share this characteristic construction and form. Though this could be an earlier example, with no markings it's conservatively estimated at early-mid 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly charming piece of artist’s ephemera, the accumulated paint marks giving it an especially wonderful sense of history. Beautiful displayed in a studio, library, or among a collection of artist’s tools and objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-mid 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mahogany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24.5\" L X 15.5\" W.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good antique condition with expected wear from age and use, including scattered surface scratches, abrasions, and remnants of dried paint throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44181498658903,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3505\/3399\/files\/25_b74eef3e-69ea-4aff-bb12-d5672ffb2a70.jpg?v=1787281145","url":"https:\/\/gladysavenue.com\/products\/traditional-kidney-artist-s-palette","provider":"Gladys Avenue","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
