Sunspring, 1700s (?).

Frame of mother-of-pearl, 19 leaves with partially broken decor, ribbon with acanthus ridges. Ovanförputti carrying bowls, at the top grape bunches. The two outer leaves go over the entire height, cartusques, two putti and flower ranks in relief, up to the cartusch with man on one leaf, woman on the other, at the top bird. On the frame attached a screen of parchment. Painted decor in gouche, on one side of wine harvesting, on the other side a char with a man pedaling, one filling up with grapes and one dropping, behind the brass with wine grape bunches, in the background to the left man filling wine in barrel. In the middle of the screen, the picking of grapes, a woman with a basket on her head, a man, to the right woman with a cut. To the right man with basket on his back, woman, woman with basket on his back, to the far right lying man. On the opposite side Indian (?) Landscape, in the middle pergola wielding godly with a dog’s head, both arms raised, in front of one arm lift, flanked by man and woman crossing two torches in front of the man, in the middle, on the left two ladies, one with a parasol, on the right man and woman, the man in a suit of a trophy armor. The blades cohesive down by metal pins, at both ends a slippery diamond in a drained joint.
