*** RESERVED*** No. 2802 Lover's Eye Painting in a Double Frame with Cherubs and Ladies
A pair of Lover's Eye oil paintings in a vintage aged silver metal (possibly pewter) double frame in the Rococo style with cherubs, ladies, and ornate scroll and foliate designs, measuring 1 3/4" by 5 1/2", and with a stand back and hardware for hanging.
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 painted especially to complement the size, color, and style of its vintage or antique frame.
