Rare set of ten professionally framed and matted antique fruit pochoir (or "theorem," as they called them in the U.S.) stencil on paper, c. 1870s to 1890s. A form of Folk Art in the days they were made.

The hand done Stencils are in matching burlwood frames measuring 13 ¾” x 10 ½”. Set is in Excellent condition, little to no wear to frames, prints do have some minimal foxing and blemishes from age.
