A Pair of Seascape Watercolors by William Minshall Birchall (1884-1941), Signed and Dated

This glorious pair of watercolors are titled 'Under Easy Canvas' and 'A Passing Fighter' with clippers in the foreground under full sail. Both paintings are signed, titled and dated 1930, one in the lower left corner and the other one in the right corner.

The paintings are set within elaborately decorated gilt, plaster and wooden frames under glass.

I would prefer to sell as a pair though might consider splitting.
