These are vintage framed dried flower arrangements made by a Belgian company called Cideart, often referred to as "bubble glass" or "domed glass" art. They were a popular home decor item, especially during the 1970s.

These pieces feature arrangements of various preserved dried flowers and grasses, typically set against a velvet or fabric background (in this case, a brown color). These floral displays are encased behind a piece of convex, or domed, glass in an oval frame, usually made of a brass-tone metal.

This type of folk art is associated with a vintage, cottagecore, or bohemian chic style and was particularly common in the 1960s and 1970s.

Dried floral arrangements, often preserved in glass domes or frames, became popular decorative items throughout the mid-20th century, particularly from the 1950s through the 1970s. These pieces offered a way to bring the beauty of nature indoors, with the advantage of longevity compared to fresh flowers. They were commonly found in homes as wall art or tabletop displays, reflecting a trend towards natural and rustic aesthetics in interior design.

These pieces showcase a variety of preserved botanicals, including dried flowers, grasses, and pinecones, arranged in oval frames with convex glass covers. The metallic frames and hanging loops are typical of the era's mass-produced decorative items. While not considered fine art, these arrangements hold nostalgic value and appeal to collectors of vintage home decor.
