Paper Collectible Appraisal

Pair of Framed 3D Paper Sculptures / Collages

This lot consists of two framed artworks, each featuring three-dimensional paper sculptures or collages mounted on a light-colored background with visible printed text, possibly sheet music or book pages. Each artwork is encased within a rectangular wooden frame with a detailed, possibly carved or molded, gold-tone finish. The frames exhibit a classic, ornate design, indicative of a traditional or possibly late 20th-century aesthetic. They appear to be in good condition overall, though some minor wear to the gold finish or slight dust accumulation on the glass is possible, typical for items of this type and age. The top artwork displays a central motif resembling a stylized musical instrument, possibly an accordion or a fanned book, with a prominent red or reddish-brown element at its core and fanned-out, white or cream-colored elements radiating outwards. The bottom artwork features a more abstract, folded or wrapped form, primarily in shades of reddish-brown and lighter cream, giving the impression of fabric or paper manipulations. Both pieces are under glass, which shows reflections of the outdoor environment (trees, sky), indicating their current placement. The backing behind the central artwork is a dark, possibly black or dark blue, mat board. The craftsmanship appears to be detailed, focusing on the three-dimensional aspect of the paper elements. The items are decorative in nature and would likely be used for wall display.
