Mid Century William Harnett Still Life 18×15 from Ethan Allen
Why Ethan Allen? They sold mass-produced prints of 19th-century American masters like Harnett to evoke nostalgia and “heritage.” These were often canvas transfers (prints glued to canvas, sometimes textured/aged to mimic originals) framed in ornate gold like yours. Not cheap lithographs, but mid-century “decorative art” pieces—priced $50–200 back then. Ethan Allen’s “Treasury of American Traditional Interiors” (1960s–70s editions) featured similar still lifes in staging photos. Vintage dealers (e.g., Chairish, eBay) frequently list “Ethan Allen Harnett prints” as mid-century decor bundles.
