Extra Large Antique Face Screen Fan Pair, Watercolor Art in the Italian and French Manner, Paintings Anizy I'll err to the side

I'll err to the side of caution however with dates

The knife blade and fork tines are the original pre-stainless steel so they do have a bit of age tarnish or corrosion but no rust and are actually in quite fine shape all things considered

typical of the French Napoleon III era cabinet makers' trade and of the boxes we love to collect from that era

Good to very good

Extra Large Antique Face Screen Fan Pair, Watercolor Art in the Italian and French Manner, Paintings Anizy I'll err to the sideA surprisingly appealing pair, oversized for face screens, and truly works of art, these are painted in watercolor, not printed, and deserve to be hung on wall as artworks. Can you see them flanking a fabulous French framed mirror above your mantel. In one photo at end, you see them shown with a more typical sized pair of face screens that are embroidered note the comparative size. I've collected these for decades, have never seen such a large set.
