ABOUT PRODUCTID 13623
This early 20th-century Art Nouveau photo frame exemplifies the finest traditions of French craftsmanship. Its structure is formed from carefully bent brass rods in a warm, medium patinated hue, nuanced with reddish undertones that lend the piece a subdued gleam sitting between matte and satin. The defining element of the design is its organically flowing, symmetrical scrollwork encircling the rectangular aperture, evoking plant tendrils and stylized natural motifs typical of the Art Nouveau era. The inner frame is bordered by a wide plate of finely striated brass with a linear, woodgrain-like texture, enriching its tactile appeal. Construction details remain discreet—precise, with no modern fixings visible to the eye. In the lower right corner, an original, period brass plaque with delicate engraving attests to provenance and authenticity. The frame is preserved in very good condition, showing only minor patina and gentle, even wear in keeping with its age, with no significant damage or traces of restoration.This frame channels the subtle spirit of the French Belle Époque—a time when sensuous lines and organic ornament signaled both a fascination with nature and aspirations towards modernity. Brass—warm as afternoon sunlight—gently animates the fluid lines, as if the metal were narrating a story of springtime growth. When filled with a family portrait, vintage photograph, or Art Nouveau print, the frame becomes a vignette of an era when everyday beauty was shaped by the poetry of nature and the discipline of skilled artisans.The form and patina of this frame would be at home in a
