A charming and finely executed vintage pair of c.1920s silk miniature portraits, each presented in its original gilt wooden frame. These delicate works depict:
Mary Adelaide — attributed to Natter 530/0, after an 18th‑century original
Anne Henriette — attributed to Natter 556/0, after an 18th‑century original
Both miniatures are worked on silk with careful attention to period detail and costume, reflecting the refined aesthetic of their 18th‑century prototypes. The gilt wooden frames retain a soft patina consistent with age, lending the pair a subtle, authentic presence.
Condition: Very good for their age. Silk surfaces are stable with no notable damage; frames show light, age‑appropriate wear and retain secure mounts.
Measurements: Approximately 5 inches high by 4 inches wide (each).
These portraits make an elegant addition to any collection of decorative antiques or portrait miniatures, and are ideally suited for display as a matched pair.
