The eye miniature was a mysterious art form, popular for a brief moment in the late 1700s and early 1800s among well-to-do families. These eyes are now archaic reminders of aristocratic England, mentioned fleetingly in old diaries and Charles Dickens 1846 novel Dombey and Son. Try before you buy. No refunds.
