No. 2206 Lover's Eye Painting in a Gold Oak and Laurel Leaf Frame

Sale price$395.00

A Lover's Eye oil painting in a vintage gold composite frame with a border of oak leaves, laurel leaves and acorns, with a stand back and hardware for hanging, with the window measuring 2.5" by 2.5" and the frame measuring 6.25" by 6.25".

THE HISTORY: Lover's Eyes were a jewelry trend c.1785-1830 of brooches set with tiny watercolor portraits on ivory. Since they were cropped to eyes, they were in many ways more direct and intimate than traditional miniature portraits; but also because they were just eyes, they were often used as daring public testimonies of clandestine love affairs with mystery lovers. 
THE FRAMES: Not only does each painting arrive framed and ready-to-hang, but it has been painting especially to complement the size, color, and style of its vintage or antique frame.
