Originally published between 1854–1890 in Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei by Italian brothers Fausto and Felice Niccolini, these finely detailed engravings capture exquisite Roman silver vessels and decorative relics, beautifully rendered in soft, aged tones.

Each print has been professionally framed in a warm, richly grained wood veneer frame that complements the classical subject matter. The matting is especially handsome, featuring hand-painted gold accents, coordinating color lines, and a striking marbled border that adds depth and a collected, gallery-style look. One print is oriented vertically, the other horizontally, creating an ideal pairing for display above a console, sideboard, or along a feature wall.

Measuring 23 inches wide by 20 inches high (horizontal) and 24.75 inches high by 19.5 inches wide (vertical), these pieces are in good vintage condition with expected signs of age including light foxing to the prints and chips and wear to the frames. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

From a home décor perspective, this pair is a perfect choice for classic, collected, or European-inspired interiors, adding a touch of academic elegance and old-world character to libraries, studies, dining rooms, or layered gallery walls. See less
