The framing looks original, with those papered backs, and the frame style seems post-Victorian. Nor do the images strike me as 19th C in style. Some of those pictures on the Folk Art Museum site are from the '20s and even mid-20th century.</p><p><br /></p><p>The visual effect was popular: look at purse compacts by Gwenda, or even Wedgwood's Fairyland Lustre. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do wonder. If I had seen that Harlequin by itself, I likely would have said Art Deco; Harlequin was a popular motif. But the Columbine (assuming that to be the woman)?
