Wall Art - Jane Austen's House and Garden - Chawton, Hampshire

Circular wall art, with a view of Jane Austen's House in Chawton, Hampshire. In the foreground selected plants grown in Jane Austen's time feature with glimpses of birds and nature. Jane Austen moved to Chawton Cottage, Hampshire in 1809, finally having a stable, comfortable home after years of unsettled living, and the house is now preserved as a museum. The move marked the start of a highly productive period in which she wrote several of her most famous novels. Jane Austen’s House in Chawton, Hampshire, was Jane Austen's final home, and it was within these walls that Jane wrote and revised her six beloved novels. It is the most treasured Austen site in the world. It was here that Jane’s genius flourished and where she wrote, revised and had published all her novels: Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park, Emma, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion. Jane lived at what is now Jane Austen’s House for the last eight years of her life. She moved here in 1809 with her mother, sister Cassandra and friend Martha Lloyd after a period spent living in lodgings. The house was owned by Jane’s brother Edward, who had been named heir to the wealthy Knight family and had since inherited the Chawton Estate. The house – a 17th century building – was offered to the women rent-free for life. Sizes and details: Medium: 50 x 50 cm (1.2mm) Stainless steel painted dark grey
