Victorian Silhouette Reverse Glass Painting Convex Baroque Art Picture Vtg 1940s:
$22.99

Up for offer is this gorgeous antique silhouette reverse painting on convex glass featuring a Victorian couple engaged in a wedding proposal inside a drawing room or parlor. Unique to the artist, this style is unusual for silhouette images, as it\'s the silhouettes of a chandelier and table with vining plant, rather than the man and woman\'s, that are painted in black on the back side of the beveled glass. This is then backed with a litho print of the courtship or engagement taking place within the Victorian interior design with Baroque elements. A signature border frames the picture, and the piece is set in its original wood frame that has a carved Art Nouveau design. The beautifully illustrated print is faintly marked in the lower left hand corner \"S. Colef 3-15-42\". The artists name is Corporal S. Colef, and these were made at the beginning of World War II when the Victorian lovers theme was very popular. The raised bubble glass gives the illusion of depth. The style was adapted from the earliest form of the cameo silhouette dating back to the early 1700s in England. The technique comes from the Verre Églomisé. The dimensions of this piece are 8 5/8\" x 6 3/4\". The glass and frame are in excellent condition. The print surface contains a bit of aging and staining, one crease on the side, and slight warping due to a tear spot from the nail. The back boarding has its original picture hanger intact, but it should probably be reinforced. This piece can be hung or placed on a shelf. It will make a lovely addition to any Victorian collection. What a coup!
