This handcoloured lithograph titled "Femme Persane" vividly captures the traditional attire of a Persian woman, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and detailed craftsmanship of 19th-century Persia. The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844 in Paris. The image stands out for its intricate detailing, especially the veil and robe, which are adorned with elaborate patterns and vibrant colors typical of Persian fashion. The woman's attire includes a veil that covers the face partially, known as a "ruband," which was commonly worn in public by women in some regions of Persia as a sign of modesty and status. Her robe, layered and colorful, reflects the sophisticated textile techniques of the time, including embroidery and fabric dyeing, which were highly regarded skills in Persian society. The attractiveness of such prints lies in their ability to convey the elegance and intricacy of Persian women's fashion, providing a window into the everyday life and social customs of the time. The use of handcoloured lithography, a popular printing technique of the era, allows for vivid coloration and detailed representation, making these prints highly desirable for collectors and enthusiasts of historical fashion and cultural heritage.

An authentic, hand-signed limited edition embossed serigraph titled "Florida (Pearl Dress)" by master Art Deco designer Erté (Romain de Tirtoff, 1892–1990), published in 1989 by Chalk & Vermilion / Seven Arts. Hard to photo, please excuse reflections. Part of Erté’s celebrated American Millionairesses Revisited series, this work is based on an original 1917 costume design created for the American Millionairess Revue at the Théâtre Fémina in Paris. The print features intricate blind embossing, shimmering gold foil stamping, and subtle pearlized texturing. Housed in its original custom Wentworth Gallery Art Deco frame featuring textured gold-leaf corner accents and multi-tiered matting that echoes the work's geometric backdrop. The artwork is safely preserved beneath plexiglass glazing that does not touch the paper, keeping the foil and blind embossing in pristine, untouched condition (minor internal friction rubs present on the brown matting from the glazing edge). Retains its original Wentworth Gallery inventory label on the reverse with matching pencil-numbered edition stock details." Edition & Markings: Edition Number: #298 / 300 (Arabic Edition) Signature: Hand-signed in pencil lower right by Erté Publisher: Seven Arts Ltd. / Chalk & Vermilion (1989) Provenance: Wentworth Gallery (retains original verso inventory label) Dimensions: Frame Size: 48 11/16" H × 41 1/8" W (123.7 cm × 104.5 cm) Visible Sight / Mat Opening: 36 5/16" H × 27 7/8" W (92.2 cm × 70.8 cm) Excellent vintage condition overall. The serigraph itself is crisp, clean, and untouched—the plexiglass glazing is set away from the paper surface with proper clearance, preserving the gold foil stamping, blind embossing, and pearl texturing in original, pristine shape. The brown matting shows minor internal rub marks along the edge from contact with the plexiglass interior, which is common for larger gallery frames of this age and does not affect the artwork itself. The custom Wentworth frame shows minor, normal age-appropriate surface wear along the outer edges, remaining sturdy, structurally sound, and display-ready.
