Framed Vintage Architectural Prints – San Francisco Victorian Homes – Double Mat Display in Ornate Gold Frame
Capture the timeless charm of San Francisco’s historic Victorian architecture with this beautifully framed set of two finely detailed black-and-white architectural prints. Showcased side-by-side in a grand ornate frame, these prints feature authentic historic homes with rich architectural character and period detail.
🖼️ Print Details:
• Left Print: Depicts a real, historic three-bedroom Victorian home known as “Hare Creek”, located in San Francisco. This Queen Anne-style home includes a turret, wood shingle siding, ornamental windows, and a landscaped front garden. The house still exists today and represents classic 19th-century residential architecture.
• Right Print: Labeled "San Francisco Victorian, California Street, San Francisco, California". This home features grand bay windows, ornate cornices, decorative columns, and a stately entrance—an excellent example of San Francisco’s post-Gold Rush urban style, circa 1850.
• Medium: Monochrome fine line architectural drawings (appear to be high-quality vintage printed reproductions)
• Artist: Not clearly signed on front; back board includes a handwritten name resembling “Lawson”, possibly the artist or framer.
🖼️ Frame Details:
• Overall Size: Approximately 24" x 36"
• Frame Style: Heavily carved ornate wood frame with floral and arch detailing and a gold antique finish
• Matting: Custom double mat with two side-by-side openings
• Glass: Protective front glass included
📌 Condition:
• Very good vintage condition overall
• Frame shows minor wear and patina consistent with age
• Prints are clean and well-preserved with light aging visible
• Backing has a wire hanger installed and is ready to display
💡 Additional Notes:
• The backing board has unrelated text (VP303. Utrillo: Eglise de Banlieue 24x18), which likely refers to reused backing material and is not connected to the current artwork.
• An excellent display for anyone who appreciates San Francisco history, Victorian homes, or architectural illustration.
