ABOUT PRODUCTID 13622
This French standing photo frame from the 1930s represents the Art Deco style, crafted from brass plated with nickel. Its construction stands on two elegantly curved legs ending in ball feet, offering both visual balance and structural solidity. The rectangular, vertical form is lightened by a decorative scrollwork arch and a small central clasp at the top, with no additional color accents or ornate patterns, highlighting the geometric restraint typical of Art Deco. The surface features a cool, silver-grey tone with a gentle, matte sheen characteristic of interwar nickel plating. Subtle patina and visible metal joints at the corners and decorative elements attest to hand craftsmanship and attention to detail. The frame is fitted with glass, designed for vertical photo display. The overall condition is good, with slight traces of wear consistent with age but no significant damage or repairs.Within this frame resides the spirit of the 1930s—a period when elegance meant clarity, and the cool gleam of nickel echoed the forward-looking functionalism of Art Deco. Its minimalist form quietly recalls interwar France: Parisian ateliers lit by daylight and architecture where simplicity did not forgo grace. Every element, from geometric contours to the soft sheen of metal, tells the story of the dawn of modern design.The frame can be placed on a marble console in a living room, highlighting its noble sheen against a neutral background, or paired with other metallic accents—such as a nickel-plated brass lamp or a simple Art Deco tray. It will stand out on dark walls or wood veneers, where its cool silver tone is most pronounced. For collectors and lovers of vintage arrangements, the frame may be combined with geometric ceramics or glass pieces for a calm, balanced display on a sideboard or bookshelf.
