A set of two antique stencils on heavy, blue-tinted paper, from a late 19th-century painter-decorator's workshop. These designs feature elegant ornamental motifs, combining scrolls, stylized foliage, and architectural elements intended for creating wall friezes or decorative frames. The visible micro-perforations allow the design to be transferred by sanding, while the areas highlighted with pen and watercolor serve as guides for coloring. The handwritten annotations and numbering reinforce the authenticity of their professional use in a workshop. A beautiful and complementary set, typical of the decorative practices of the Belle Époque.
