This early 20th-century pair features one print of a young girl with mandolin inscribed "Best wishes of the Season" and one of a boy with recorder reading 'New Year bring thee Health and Happiness". Their warm gilt wood frames and gentle pastel palette give them a tender, storybook quality, while foxing, tonal aging, and surface wear add authenticity rather than detract. Displayed together, they create a balanced, romantic look ideal for cottage, Victorian, or collected interiors.
Perfect for a gallery wall, nursery, or adding old-world charm to a layered interior. A softly aged framed duo with musical imagery, pastel color, and the nostalgic character.
Details:
Era: Circa 1900–1920
Material: Gilt-painted wood frames, glass fronts, chromolithograph prints, solid wood backing boards
Condition: Age-related toning and foxing to prints, scratches and wear to gilt surfaces, light marks to glass; structurally sound with original wood backs intact
Dimensions: Approx. 7.5" × 7.75" each
