I'd be grateful if someone could put an approximate date on his photograph, please.

1890's for me.

Yes, early...1890 to 93.

Aren't they lovely. The one on the left is wearing velvet.

Cheers,
China

The seated artist design first appeared in 1892.It was widely copied as this is.
So I think 1893 is right on the money.
