About the Item

Pair of Early 19th Century Miniature Portraits in Flamed Birch Frames A charming and evocative pair of miniature portraits from the early 19th century, one of which is dated 1813. Executed with fine sensitivity and character, the portraits depict a gentleman and a lady in profile, reflecting the refined taste and intimate scale typical of the period. The miniatures are housed in delightful square frames crafted from flamed birch, richly patinated with age. Each frame is adorned with delicately engraved decoration in the form of laurel wreaths incorporating oak leaves and acorns—classical symbols of virtue, strength, and continuity—adding both symbolic depth and decorative appeal. Together, the portraits form a harmonious and historically resonant pair, equally suited for display in a cabinet, library, or gallery wall arrangement. Their modest scale and warm materials lend a sense of intimacy and quiet elegance, making them highly appealing to collectors of portrait miniatures and early 19th-century decorative arts. Wear consistent with age and use.
