About the Item
This is a pair of framed hand-colored engravings of an ancient vase in the Palizzy Wares style and a silver gilt tazza (cup) with a cover, both from the 16th century. These were engraved under the supervision of Philip De La Motte (1821-1889), Professor of Drawing and Fine Art at King's College London. They are entitled "A Vase, Palissy Ware, 16th century", Pl. 36 and "A Tazza, with Cover. Silver-Gilt. 16th century, Pl. 28" from 'Choice Examples of Art Workmanship Selected from the Exhibition of Ancient and Mediaeval Art at the Society of Arts', published by Cundall & Addey & George Bell in London in 1851.
These engraved illustrations are framed in identical elegant ribbed black wood frames with gold-colored fillets and light taupe-colored silk mats. The frames each measure 24.5" x 20.13" x 1.13". Both prints are in excellent condition. The frames have a few small dents, but are otherwise in excellent condition.
