Antique Pair, Napoleon III Era French Portrait Miniature Couple, Oil Painting on Porcelain Plaque

Height of fashion for early to mid Victorian era, which of course in France was the Napoleon III era (c.1848-70). This stunning fine pair of oil paintings on convex porcelain plaques capture the style of their time as well as superb likeness and expression. Her dress, in the Napoleon III red and black, links directly to the fashion icon, Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III (France's last emperor). The pair, excellently preserved, remain in their original frames. Some with the old silk velvet covers wood frames like these have been removed and get sold framed in only their dore bronze oval mats. Here you have the original items, both easel-backed and hanging loops still fully intact and authentic to the era and art.  They are signed by the artist, whose work is superb. I'm having a difficult time being certain I copy it right so will let you. G. Adam? G. Adarn?  Full measurements are noted on the photos. The faces are small, just 1" for her and 1 1/4" for him, chin to hairline.  Very
