I Love Lucy Small Carriage Prints

In the screen capture above from the charm school spisode of I Love Lucy we notice two small framed prints high up over the mantel. These automotive prints of early carriages are examples of framed prints that were sold in sets in the mid century era.  Examples of these are often seen on eBay.  Below is a closer look at the details as seen on the show.

The same two pictures along with a matching third print were also seen below the Maurice Utrillo picture on the back wall in other episodes.

Framed Cavalry Prints on I Love Lucy

Several small framed decorative prints can be seen on the living room walls of the I Love Lucy set. A set of cavalry sword men appear on the wall next to the fireplace and also on the back wall on either side of the larger Utrillo picture.

These prints  framed by Borghese are not identical  to those pictured in the screen grab above but they are from the same series of cavalry prints derived from an antique publication of broad sword exercises by Thomas Stephens.framed-prints-i-love-lucy
