Set of 3 antique Italian architectural prints framed under glass. This handsome collection consist of three heliotype plates from a decorative arts portfolio from the early 1890’s. The plates used for these images were by Carlo Jacob Eliot (Italy) and Editor Printer Fernando Ongania (Italy 1842-1911). Each plate is labeled in the top left corner and the makers are listed in the lower left and right.
All three antique prints are mounted under glass and have custom mats with hand drawn border lines around the opening. The simple yet tasteful frames or stained wood with a black finished edges and sides.
These antique Italian architectural prints would look perfect in a home or office setting. Present them as a set or individually. Great gift idea for an Architect or Interior Designer.
