Each miniature showcases a separate element of a coordinated swimwear ensemble—a vibrant green and multi-colored bikini top delicately suspended from a hand-wrought wire hanger, paired with a matching set of ruffled shorts featuring a lush botanical pattern of fruit and foliage. Hand-crafted with meticulous precision on a textured ivory linen ground, these works highlight the high-quality artisanal home decor trends of the late 20th century, offering a tactile depth that mass-produced art cannot replicate.


Measuring 8.75” W × 0.75” D × 9” H each, these framed treasures are masterfully elevated by substantial gilded wood frames with a stepped architectural profile, providing a sophisticated Hollywood Regency contrast to the lighthearted imagery. They are perfectly scaled for precision shelf styling or as a spirited addition to a curated gallery wall in a powder room, designer dressing area, or coastal guest suite. The set remains in excellent vintage condition, exhibiting minor scuffs to the gold frames that serve as a distinguished patina, confirming their authentic 1970s heritage. Their fresh palette and unique theme make them an exceptional find for any collector of fine vintage textiles. Secure this endearing pair of hand-crafted originals for your home today. See less
