About the Item

We kindly invite you to read the full description, as we strive to provide detailed technical and historical information to ensure the authenticity of our items. These are refined and elegant French prints with mythological subjects, taken from an antique volume dating back to the mid-19th century (1850–1860). The frames, made of fine wood and finished with gold leaf, were crafted entirely by hand in recent times by a skilled master artisan in a historic woodworking workshop in Florence. The images in these two framed prints are executed in the Rococo style, an 18th-century European art movement characterized by mythological, allegorical, and fantastical themes. This style is renowned for its sophistication, attention to detail, and a sense of lightness and decorative aesthetics. The first print (shown as the first on the left in the photo) depicts a mythological or allegorical scene featuring male and female figures set within a celestial and dynamic landscape. Cherubs (putti) fly across the upper part of the image, while a winged figure appears to guide the action toward the center of the composition. The scene conveys dynamism, spirituality, and grace, hallmarks of the Rococo style. The second print portrays a group of human figures in a pastoral and idyllic setting, dominated by a crowned male figure surrounded by cherubs. Floral and abundance symbols are also present, evoking springtime or a celebration of nature and fertility. These prints embody the grace and elegance typical of the Rococo period, with a style reminiscent of artists like François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard, celebrated for their mythological and romantic representations. The monochromatic technique (likely aquatint or sepia-toned printing) lends the works a timeless and refined character. The choice of mythological and pastoral subjects reflects a taste for fantasy and the idealization of nature, key elements of the Rococo style. These pieces are not only exceptionally decorative but also add a touch of historical elegance, perfect for those who appreciate artistic refinement and the charm of mythological art. The wooden frames, adorned with gold accents, further enhance the artistic value of the prints. Both pieces are in excellent condition. Dimensions: each frame (including the print): Width: 39 cm, Height: 49 cm, Depth: 2 cm. We use special packaging materials (wooden crates, polystyrene, etc.) for all shipments to ensure maximum protection and safety for the items.

Nargeol Adrien Pair Prints Painted Watercolor With Gilded Frames
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Pair of prints engraved by burin and painted in watercolor; both are a tribute to Cupid; the name Cupid - meaning desire, lust - was given by the Romans to the Greek god of love, actually called Eros. Alternatively, he was called just Love always by the Latins. As the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love, he, like his mother, was capable of any act, even deplorable. In the first print, which has been cut out and shaped, there are two young girls offering God a basket of fruit and a goblet of wine; in the second print a mature woman is about to be hit by Cupid's love arrow; both prints have been made with a beautiful burin engraving, then finished with delicate watercolors. The frames are handmade in gilded wood. The prints were made between 1850 and 1855 by Adrien Nargeol (see signature) a prolific and talented French engraver and were published in the "Journal des Demoiselles...

Painting Cutout Oil On Canvas Framed With Faux-Bamboo Wood -02
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly ask that you read the entire description, as we strive to provide comprehensive technical and historical details to ensure the authenticity of our items. This frame encloses a canvas cutout from an antique oil painting and is particularly unique and distinctive. It was recently crafted by a Florentine Master cabinetmaker whose workshop is located in the most charming and vibrant district of Florence, San Frediano, renowned for its artisan shops that produce entirely handmade works. The Master used carved and shaped wood to replicate the appearance of bamboo, employing a technique known as "faux bamboo." This process involves using durable woods, such as maple or oak, that are intricately carved and then painted to achieve the desired effect. The "faux bamboo" technique has a history that dates back several centuries and gained significant popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe and America, eras marked by a fascination with exotic and Oriental design influences. This technique was particularly associated with the Chinoiserie style, an artistic movement inspired by Chinese art and aesthetics. At the time, real bamboo furniture...
