Antique French Ornate Brass Easel Picture Frame
Delicately cast with an intricate openwork design, this elegant antique brass picture frame was personally sourced in the South of France. Rich with scrolling foliage, floral motifs, and crowned by a beautifully detailed classical figure, it is a wonderful example of the romantic decorative arts that adorned French homes at the turn of the twentieth century. The warm aged brass finish has developed a lovely patina over the decades, highlighting every intricate detail of the casting.
Designed to display a treasured portrait, miniature painting, or treasured photograph, this frame is as beautiful empty as it is with artwork inside. Its sculptural silhouette makes it equally striking on a mantel, bookshelf, bedside table, or vignette, adding timeless European character to any collection. Pieces with this level of detail are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making it a wonderful addition for collectors and lovers of antique French décor. Circa late 19th to early 20th century (1890–1910).
Good antique condition with beautiful age-related patina and wear consistent with its age. The original easel stand functions well, allowing the frame to stand securely. The glass is present and intact.
