Pair of Chinoiserie Petite Point Embroideries in Rococo Style Frames

This is a matching pair of oval-framed textile artworks featuring Chinoiserie-style figures. Each piece showcases a meticulously hand-stitched petite point or fine needlepoint embroidery on a cream-colored silk or ribbed fabric ground. One figure depicts a woman in a traditional red robe holding a fan, while the other features a male figure in red carrying a lantern and a staff. Both figures stand on stylized black tiered bases. The embroidery is executed with high precision, indicating skilled craftsmanship. The textiles are housed within ornate, deep-set oval wooden or composite frames. The frames feature a multi-tonal finish: an inner gilded bezel, a wide mahogany or oxblood-colored recessed cove, and a highly decorative outer rim with gilded floral and foliate Rococo scrollwork. The frames exhibit moderate age-related wear, including some loss of gilding, fine cracking in the lacquered finish, and minor abrasions consistent with mid-20th-century decorative arts. The fabric ground shows slight undulation and very faint yellowing from age, but no major staining or moisture damage is visible. This pair likely dates from the 1940s to 1960s, reflecting the enduring popularity of the Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie aesthetic.
