A charming pair of Victorian Crystoleoms, beautifully depicting delightful children at play. These exquisite paintings are crafted using the unique Crystoleoms technique, applied to fine bowed glass panels and set within their original, elegantly carved gilt frames. As with all antiques, subtle imperfections are present, adding to the character and timeless appeal of these highly decorative pieces.
The Crystoleoms process was a method of applying colour to an albumen print, popular from c. 1880 – c. 1910. An albumen print was pasted face down to the inside of a concave piece of glass. Once the adhesive was dry, the paper backing of the print was rubbed away, leaving only the transparent emulsion on the glass. The image was then coloured by hand, using oil paints.
All measurements are done to the widest point .
