Dating from the 1930s to 1940s, this set features detailed black silhouette scenes layered over colorful, scenic backdrops.

Condition Report

This set is in very good vintage condition with excellent structural integrity. The reverse-painted silhouettes and colored background lithographs remain crisp, dark, and vibrant with no major peeling or bubbling. The convex glass panels are clear, smooth, and free of cracks or deep scratches. The backboards are completely intact with firmly attached original hangers. The metal frames show a light, natural age-related patina and minor rubbing along the perimeter, which beautifully enhances their authentic vintage charm. Please review all photos for a closer look at the fine details.
