CUMBERLAND, MARYLAND FOLK ART PAINTED PANELS / DOORS, each thick stock constructed with fielded panels bearing paintings of birds over Art Deco geometric designs. One is titled "Flicker" and the other "Meadow Lark". Both retain their early painted surfaces. First quarter 20th century. Largest 95" x 42" OA.
Catalogue Note: The consigner provided a detailed provenance for these doors, it reads as follows "[The doors] were displayed at a Columbia Gas & Electric Company in Cumberland, MD sometime in the 1920s, but for exactly how many years before or after that is unknown. At some point the business expanded and the old buildings were dismantled, at which time a man from Hagerstown, MD obtained the panels and nailed them up inside his barn. A local auctioneer found them recently when cleaning out this man’s estate..." 
The consigner provided a photograph of the Columbia Gas & Electric Company in Cumberland, MD shows doors of an extremely similar size and construction on the building in the background. It's very likely that these were just painted by an artistic employee or owner.

Condition

Good condition overall showing signs of weathering and relatively minor losses to the paint-decorated surfaces; one with a loss of one of its upper rails.

Provenance

From the Columbia Gas & Electric Company, Cumberland. MD.
