A Superb Pair of German Art Deco Cut Paper Silhouette Pictures, C.1920

A beautiful and unusual pair of German Art Deco cut paper silhouette pictures dating from circa 1920, depicting fantasy scenes with exquisite detail and craftsmanship.

The first picture features an elegant young lady wearing a pink dress, seated upon a large decorative cushion beneath a tall standard lamp. Around her are miniature male figures suspended on fine strings, each seemingly competing for her attention.

The companion picture depicts a gentleman dressed in a pink costume, seated upon a similarly large cushion beneath a tall standard lamp, playing a woodwind instrument. He is accompanied by three miniature female figures, also suspended on strings and seemingly competing for his attention.

The delicate colours are achieved using finely cut silk underlays, creating beautiful depth and subtle tonal effects. Both pictures demonstrate exceptional precision, imagination and skill in their intricate paper-cutting.

Each picture is indistinctly signed in pencil in the lower right-hand corner.

They are presented in their original black and gilt frames, with black mounts and protective glass, retaining a wonderful period Art Deco appearance.

Condition: The cut paper compositions are in good condition. The original frames display minor age related imperfections, consistent with their age, but remain very attractive and complement the pictures beautifully.

Dimensions (each):

• Height: 26 cm

• Width: 31.5 cm

• Depth: 1.5 cm

An enchanting and highly decorative pair of early 20th century German silhouette artworks, full of charm, character and intricate detail. An unusual addition to an Art Deco collection or an elegant period interior.
