The original mustard velvet/moire backing gives the artwork depth and dimension, making these ideal for the Fine Art → Collage category. A romantic European accent for gallery walls, vanities, and curated interiors.

This matched pair dates to the 1950s–1960s, crafted in the traditional Florentine method using layered gilt gesso over wood, beaded molding, and hand-applied filigree brass medallions framing each miniature print. The warm mustard moiré fabric creates a beautifully layered, collage-style presentation.

Both pieces retain their original paper backs with Italian production numbers typical of mid-century Florentine export workshops. Light gesso wear, soft patina, and velvet toning are fully consistent with authentic vintage Florentine décor. Sold as a matched pair and ready to hang.
