Pair of Framed Botanical Prints

A pair of framed botanical prints, each measuring approximately 7.75 inches by 8.5 inches according to the provided context. The prints depict vibrant floral arrangements in a loose, hand-colored style. The left print features a large, fluffy yellow bloom supported by various red, purple, yellow, and blue flowers and green foliage. The right print showcases a bouquet dominated by deep reddish-purple poppy-like flowers alongside blue, red, and yellow floral elements and green leaves. The colors appear somewhat muted, suggesting age or possibly the printing process. The frames are made of what appears to be black-painted wood with a carved or molded decorative edge. The frames exhibit some wear and tear, possibly including chips or scratches in the paint, consistent with age and handling. The prints themselves show some signs of age, such as slight discoloration or foxing on the paper. There are no visible manufacturer's marks, signatures, or stamps apparent in the provided image. The style of the prints and frames suggests a vintage or possibly antique origin, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, aligning with a Victorian or Edwardian aesthetic. The craftsmanship of the frames is functional but not particularly elaborate, suggesting they are likely mass-produced rather than bespoke. The images are presented under glass, which appears intact. The backs of the frames are not visible. The overall condition appears fair, consistent with items of this age.
