They aren’t paintings, they are prints as I can see the dots.

 

I'm not sure I'd call those Art Deco. 1920s certainly. Characters are Pierrot and Columbine.

I would call them Art Deco. The movement started in Europe earlier than over here - in France especially - 20's. Maybe not what Americans might think of first off when describing Art Deco, but still....

 

I stand corrected. She (Marion Crowe) is widely considered to be an Art Deco-era artist.

MARYGOLD aka MARION CROWE (British, 1896-1979)
Marygold was a nom de plume for an English artist, Marion Crowe, who was born in 1896. She was an extremely popular "art deco" artist, specialising in every aspect of romanticism. Her work was incredibly popular in the 1930's and was used for a wide variety of product including decorative tins, jigsaw puzzles, greeting cards, calendars and decorative boxes for handkerchiefs, chocolates, etc.

The first is 'An Idyll of Summertime' and the second is 'Cupid Weaves his Mystic Charm.' If color of these correct, those of OP are badly faded.

I think these are truer to the artist's intent.
