No. 2288 Lover's Eye Painting in a Gold Beaded Frame

Sale price$295.00

A Lover's Eye oil painting in a vintage gold composite frame with a bead-textured border and hardware for hanging on the back, with the window measuring 4.5" by 3" and the frame measuring 8.5" by 7".

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.
