Framed Paper-Cut Silhouette Portraits by Baron Scotford (USA), c1934
Couldn't load pickup availability
A pair of full-length silhouette portraits by American silhouette artist Baron Scotford, dated 1934. Scissor-cut from black inked paper using a slashwork technique and mounted onto white backing. This portrait group is of a presumed married couple - Marjorie Gibbon and Leonard Gibbon, signed to the lower section. Recently mounted in a contemporary black frame behind glass.
Measurements: Frame - 40cm x 32cm
Condition: The silhouettes are structurally sound within their frame. The white backing paper has yellowed with age and exhibits some foxing throughout, consistent with natural ageing of paper. The cut edges of the silhouettes remain intact with small tears evident. The frame has one scratch along the right side, otherwise no other blemishes. Overall, the works are stable and displayable, with expected age-related toning.
