I have had this awhile and love it. I have tried to find out anything about it on antique forums and shops but apart from french ones that are fire screens no one has ever seen one. This is Oz as its blue mtns and tho not selling i would love to find out about it. Can anyone help?,

Should have also said that french ones I have found are far older than this one (Victorian). This is federation I think and the paintings on mine are done by G.Arnold. As i said any help would be great or even a gentle prod in right direction.

And tell me its utter crap or a poor copy and worth about 5 bucks lol. Just surprised that this guy Arnald has actually made a few but nothing about him or screen can be found. Guess it means he is no Picasso? :=)
On a dif note This is second time I have asked something totally unrelated to VW. The first was regarding a Triumph emblem. I tried 3 Triumph sites and nothing but got it here. And with this it has pretty well been the same. Says a lot about this site and its information.

Is the artwork in this style:

If so, that's Margery G. Arnold.

If not, it may be Marjorie Arnold:

Both worked in Aus in the early 20th. Try a Sydney gallery that deals in Australian artists.

No expert on paintings but that Margery G painting dont look same style at all and nether does signature. And I cant see a person signing painting G arnold when name is Margery with no G so doubt if other artist shown is right either.
