Pair of Antique Ornithological Prints in Decorative Gilt Frames 8.1" x 6.5"

A decorative pair of antique ornithological prints presented in richly detailed gilt composition frames. Featuring two exotic birds, including an Orange-Winged Lorikeet and Vinago Aromatica, these softly faded natural history studies bring a collected, atmospheric feel to an interior.

The prints retain their gentle age-related toning, foxing and subtle marks, giving them the quiet character often found in antique botanical and zoological illustrations. Their muted blue-green tones sit beautifully against the warm bronzed gilt frames, which feature repeating stylised leaf motifs and textured detailing.

Likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, the frames themselves have a strong decorative presence and work particularly well in layered interiors, studies, libraries, gallery walls or alongside antique pottery and curiosities.

An attractive pair for lovers of antique wall decor, Victorian-inspired interiors and natural history pieces.
