Vintage Silhouette Portrait Pair – Man and Woman in Colonial Dress | Framed Cut Paper Art by FPC NYC

This refined pair of vintage silhouette portraits features a colonial-era gentleman and lady, captured in timeless black profile. The figures are cut from paper and mounted on soft ivory backgrounds, set within oval mats backed by rich cranberry velvet. Each piece is housed in a square black wood frame with warm cream-toned trim and brass loop hangers.

The backs are labeled “FPC NYC”, referencing the Fine Arts Publishing Company of New York City, a noted early-med 20th-century producer of silhouette and decorative art prints. These framed silhouettes were likely made sometime around 1940 - consistent with the materials, style, and maker.
