I have a zillion beautiful old French frames, and am finally beginning to work them up to sell. If you're wanting to put together a tabletop or piano or desk grouping of your favorite photos, these are splendid grouped in various sizes and shapes, all sold separately. Almost all are c.1850-1880, "Napoleon III" era, mid-Victorian in age. A few are earlier, none later.
This one is a gorgeous square "gem" frame, small and round aperture has convex original glass. An easel back and intact original 19th century cover glass. Ready to add your small photo and display either hanging or with easel stand.
Very good to excellent condition, beautifully crafted. These old ones have fine detail and this one has no damage to report. Thick cast, cloth inner mat into which the aperture is set, flanked by appliqués. My favorite type of French frames. A metal backing that simply slides open on backside is also intact.
