Separated for over a century, a trio of small panels by Sir Edward John Poynter (1836-1919) have been reunited thanks to a dealer, an auction and two Australian Victorian art fans.
The 8in (20cm) square pictures were painted between 1870-72 and were originally set into a monumental walnut and pear wood cabinet designed by Edward Tarver and made by Gillows.
They were removed and separated at some point in the early 20th century, but recently one of them emerged at a Christie’s sale in London.
