Description

Very decorative pair of late 19th century French gilt framed oval portraits with original ribbon cartouche, circa1890 and both in good condition.

The portraits are named on the back and they are also glazed too, although they would be rather lovely with mirrors!

Named as Madame le Brum and child, and Lady Cranem (I think?!) and both numbered as Line 4187 which is most likely a catalogue reference number.

Priced as the pair together

Measuring:

24 3/4 inches or 63 cm high

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

FAQs

Oval portraits enclosed in ornate gilded frames gained prominence during the 18th and 19th centuries in France, frequently reflecting neoclassical and romantic portraiture traditions popular in European salons.

Traditional frames are typically constructed from carved wood or gesso over plaster, finished with layers of gold leaf or gilt paint, and fitted with hand-polished glass to protect the artwork.

Authentication involves examining the underlying wood or gesso for signs of age, inspecting the joinery at the corners, checking for hand-carved details versus modern resin casting, and noting natural oxidisation on the gilt surface.

These pieces can be hung as a focal point above a mantelpiece or integrated into a gallery wall, contrasting traditional ornate gold frames with clean, modern architectural backdrops.

Preservation requires hanging items away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to protect both the paper or canvas and the delicate gilt finish, dusting gently with a dry, soft cloth.
