Description
This pair of hollow-cut silhouettes is a rare find and in such wonderful condition. They have been framed beautifully in a classic, gold tone frame with a double mat of black and sage green. They appear to be from the 1820-30's based on not only the style of the silhouette itself but also the fashion of hair and dress. Please note that the frames have a plastic viewing "glass" rather than true glass. The frames are ready to hang and include mounting hardware.
