Pair of 19th Century Hand-Painted Portrait Miniatures in Ebony Frames

This exquisite pair of 19th-century hand-painted portrait miniatures captures the timeless beauty and elegance of women in traditional European attire. Each portrait is meticulously detailed, featuring soft, delicate brushstrokes on porcelain or ivory, set in gold-tone oval bezels mounted on ebony frames. The sitters wear distinct head coverings and attire, symbolizing their cultural backgrounds, with one wearing a floral wreath and the other adorned with an ornate headscarf and cross necklace.

The back of the frames reveals labels and inscriptions, further adding to their antique provenance. These miniatures are perfect for collectors of fine art and 19th-century European portraiture, offering a glimpse into the fashionable and artistic sensibilities of the time.

Condition: Both miniatures are in excellent antique condition, with the paintings retaining vibrant colors and fine detail. The ebony frames show minor wear, with some light marks and small chips that add to their authentic patina. Original hanging hardware is intact.
