| An antique pair of early 19th century paintings on ivory c1830-40. They are watercolour on ivory, and the detail and costumes are quite good - their painting style is detailed but a little simplistic - probably a talented amateur or folk artist painter rather than a trained portrait artist. They come in the original gesso and gilt over wood frames. The ivories themselves measure 2-5/8" x 2" and the frames measure 4-1/8" x 3-3/4" and 4-3/8 x 3-3/4". They are unsigned, and the frames have remnants of the original gilding along with a myriad of layers of paint from the past, worn or partially stripped away. They were found in Canada but may be either of Canadian or US origin. The people appear to be a father and a young son and the father's painting appears to have the original glass and backing board; the son's glass has a corner crack (reglued) and appears to be more recent. We have shown both back and front of each ivory, with the light shining through on one to show the translucency of the panel. The colours are vivid and bright, and this pair is in very good condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, damage or repairs other than a small area on the upper right of the son where the paint has been rubbed and some edge soiling on each picture, as well as the wear or partial stripping of the frames. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping starts at $8 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. All of our prices are in $US. NOTE: we do not accept PayPal. | ||||||||||||||
