Pair of Italian Florentine hand-painted floral miniatures, velvet mat, giltwood frames, mid-century

Bring a touch of timeless European romance to your walls with this delightful pair of mid-century Italian Florentine-style hand-painted floral miniatures. Dating back to the 1950s–1960s, these decorative souvenir pieces capture the classic artistry of the Florentine gift and decor trade.

Housed in ornate, hand-carved oval giltwood frames featuring a classic leaf-and-scroll border—with hints of warm red bole peeking through the parcel-gilt finish—each miniature is beautifully showcased against a rich burgundy velvet mat and finished with a delicate beaded brass bezel. The paintings feature charming, hand-painted bouquets of roses, blue bellflowers, and soft pink and yellow blossoms set against a dark, moody background.

Whether styled together as a pair, hung alongside other vintage finds, or incorporated into a gallery wall grouping, these pieces bring instant vintage character and warmth to any space.
