This antique miniature almost matched pair portrait bronze colored metal frame from the 1890s is a beautiful addition to any collection. The oval and round shapes add to their charm. The frames are made of brass, bronze, and/or gold-filled materials, with an antique bronze finish. It is an original Victorian-era piece, and its style reflects that of the period. All are estate finds and cone to you as found.
See all the photos and consider them to be part of the description. The oval brooch with the funky legs has chips on the hand painted porcelain??? At 10 o'clock to 12 o' clock and about 6 o'clock and is about 1.5 inches edge to edge oval and about 1.75 in tall, featuring a dog owner with her dog hound??? Nestling in her cleavage, looking lovingly up at the lady.The backing appears to be an off-white silk fabric. The other 2 are signed, and one has small, barelyl noticeable with a loupe, chips in the outer glass on the smaller one. This portrait measures outer edge to outer edge about 1.5 inches and is signed at 4 o'clock.
It has a tan canvas or silk backing. The larger one, 1.75 in across outer edge to outer edge, IS signed RAY or ROY at about 4 o'clock in the blue sleeve. The backing is rough, appears to be silk, but it's beat up a bit. The signature on the other smaller round one is much fainter, and it starts with an R, too, but has more letters than the 3 on the other. See the photos if the signatures.
