No. 2215 Lover's Eye Painting in a Burgundy Velvet & Glass Frame

Sale price$295.00

A Lover's Eye oil painting in a vintage deep red burgundy velvet and molded glass frame, with holes in the back for hanging, measuring 5.5" by 6".

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.
