Joan Rockingham, Grandma’s Parlour

Joan Rockingham, Grandma’s ParlourA beautifully rendered 20th century oil on board depicting a table set for tea within an exquisite English parlour. The artist, Joan Rockingham, has laboured over the smallest details even the shiny cherries atop the sticky iced buns. The painting is inscribed Grandmas Parlour on the reverse so clearly this was a special place for Joan to spend some time. The painting is housed within what appears to be its original frame.
