Seller: halhq77 ✉️ (735) 100%, Location: Benfleet, GB, Ships to: GB, Item: 145682418423 Early 20th Century Miniature Oil Landscapes of Switzerland. These are two, mounted and framed, oil on card, miniature paintings. They accurately depict La Jungfrau Depuis, Interlaken and The Chateau de Chillon, Lake Geneva. The frames measure 8 inches (20cm) by 6.5 inches (16.5cm). The actual pictures measure 3.7 inches (9.5cm) by (2.4 inches (6.5cm). All sizes are  approximate. Due to re-decoration, the small alcove where they were displayed no longer exists, hence the sale. I took these to a local auction house to have them valued and was told that they were probably pre-first world war and paintings for tourists. They opened them up and could not find a signature, common for tourist pictures they said. On the back of each there was, written in fine script, a title for each scene. They were then put back in their frames behind the glass. I asked them to leave as much of the backing paper as possible, keeping the original label intact which reads:  LANGS  Art Repositories Ltd.  50 Lord Street,  Liverpool. The auction houses have fees which make selling small items prohibitive. At this small size, the skill of the artist has to be commended. These are beautifully executed, miniature works of art with ornate, gilded frames and gold coloured card mounts. Being over a hundred years, the frames have got slight damage with the worst at the bottom left-hand corner where a part of the frame has been broken (please see all pictures). If sold, I would post these together as a "Tracked" delivery.
