Pair of Italian Oil Portraits with Wood and Gilt Frames

About the Item

These elegant oval frames were custom made to hold a set of “his and hers" oil portraits; probably a wealthy Italian couple. The wood carving is well-detailed and quite sturdy. The authentic gilt is in relatively good condition, with expected losses due to age and exposure. The paintings themselves are excellent, artistically competent and showing emotional richness. They are, however, quite damaged, with numerous scuffs, dents and some punctures. That understood, the paintings have artistic merit and have been saved. The frames are superb and can easily be made into mirrors. They are quite strong and thick and have only limited damage to some corner areas, revealing the gesso underneath. This is a fairly simple repair and it can be done at the buyers request, at no charge.
