Description

A magnificent pair of Crystoleums depict charming children at play, originating from the distinguished Victorian era. These fine artworks are created by applying paint to delicate, curved glass panels, which are then set in ornately carved, original gilt frames. Typical of antiques, they possess some imperfections that serve to augment their distinctive character and charm. As Christmas approaches, they would make an exquisite gift for a cherished woman in your life.
The Crystoleum process was a method of applying colour to an albumen print, popular from c. 1880 – c. 1910. An albumen print was pasted face down to the inside of a concave piece of glass. Once the adhesive was dry, the paper backing of the print was rubbed away, leaving only the transparent emulsion on the glass. The image was then coloured by hand, using oil paints.
