Pair of Vintage Framed Miniature Fragonard Prints

A pair of decorative miniature framed prints, depicting scenes reminiscent of the Late Baroque or Rococo period, specifically in the style of Jean-Honoré Fragonard. One frame appears to contain a version of 'The Swing'. Both items are housed in ornate, rectangular frames featuring a metallic gold finish and bead-and-reel or gadrooned borders. The prints themselves exhibit high saturation and appear to be printed on a textured surface, possibly fabric or a textured cardstock to simulate canvas. The sizes are approximately 2-3 inches in width, typical for dollhouse miniatures or small wall accents. The construction involves a plastic or lightweight wood frame with a clear protective covering (glass or acrylic). There is visible yellowing and some warping in the top print, suggesting it is a mass-produced vintage novelty item, likely from the mid-20th century. The gold finish on the frames shows minor signs of oxidation and debris accumulation in the recessed areas of the molding. These pieces were common as decorative accessories in European-themed souvenir shops or as dollhouse decor items. The quality is commercial-grade, focusing on the visual charm of the French Salon style rather than high-art production. No specific maker's marks are visible from the front view.
