Collection of Five Vintage Reverse Painted and Silhouette Art Pieces

A collection of five vintage framed art pieces. This lot includes a pair of larger reverse painted silhouette artworks depicting Regency-era figures, signed 'Smith Frederick'. One shows a woman with an umbrella and a child with flowers, the other a couple with an umbrella and a child. Also included are two smaller framed reverse painted silhouettes, also signed 'Smith Frederick', one of a woman holding a flower and another of a woman picking from a branch. All four silhouette pieces feature gilded accents on the clothing and ground. The fifth piece is a framed advertising thermometer by C. K. Duncan (Texaco Products, Pocomoke City, MD) featuring a detailed duck hunting scene. The back of some pieces indicates 'B.E.-20 Old Fashioned Garden' and 'Blossom Time' by R. P. F. Co. from New York and Chicago. Location M
