For your consideration is a stunning, large-scale 3-panel triptych oil painting by well-listed American Mid-Century artist Thomas Pell (1900–1968).
This exceptional statement set features an Asian-inspired Chinoiserie landscape depicting a majestic flock of white cranes soaring over misty, sun-drenched mountain peaks. Pell’s signature, heavily textured impasto technique is beautifully showcased in this work. Thick palette-knife applications give incredible three-dimensional depth and physical presence to the rocky mountains and foliage. The entire scene is bathed in a rich, warm golden-orange gradient sunset. Earth tones are rich and vibrant
The set features its original Mid-Century Modern faux-bamboo carved wood frames with textured canvas liners, providing an authentic, high-impact vintage look. This piece is perfect for hanging over a large living room sofa, dining room sideboard, or credenza.

There is no evidence of structural warping, bowing, ripples, or sagging. The tension remains tight and uniform across all frames. Surface Condition: The paint layer is in excellent vintage condition. The signature thick impasto peaks remain securely bonded to the surface. There is zero active flaking, paint loss, blistering, or peeling. Craquelure (Age Cracking): No significant age-related cracking or surface checking is present. The painted surface remains stable and structurally intact.Surface Contaminants: There is a light, uniform layer of fine surface dust and a mild, natural aged patina across the sky background. This is entirely consistent with uncleaned artwork from the 1960s and does not distract from the image. Frame Structure: The original carved faux-bamboo wooden frames are structurally robust. All corners are tight, secure, and flush with no separation. Cosmetic Wear: The wood finish exhibits minor, light surface scuffs and edge wear appropriate for its 60-year age. There are no major gouges, deep chips, or missing wood segments. Linen/Burlap Liners: The original textured linen liners are securely attached. They show expected mild age-toning (darkening) but are completely free of severe fraying, fabric rot, tears, or water stains. Overall Condition RatingRating: Excellent / Very Good (Vintage)Summary: An incredibly well-preserved mid-century set. The artwork shows only the gentlest signs of age and handling, with no damage or restoration work required. It is completely stable and ready to hang. less
