No. 2208 Lover's Eye Painting in an Antique Oval Frame

Sale price$275.00

A Lover's Eye oil painting in an antique oval gold metal frame with a delicate design around the border; stand back and adhesive hardware for hanging included, measuring 4.5" by 5.75".

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.
