No. 2810 Lover's Eye Painting in an Italian Round Giltwood Frame
A Lover's Eye oil painting in a vintage Florentine, Italian round giltwood frame with a heavily beveled and beaded border, measuring 3 5/8".
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.
