ABOUT PRODUCTID 13626
This early 20th-century French Art Nouveau frame is crafted from gilded brass, displaying a warm, antique gold hue. Characteristic of its era, the frame is richly adorned with pressed floral motifs, organic arabesques, and flowing lines that define Art Nouveau. Its top is crowned by a symmetrical, stylized botanical crest, further enhanced by pronounced volute scrolls and geometric details. The outline follows an airy, asymmetrical line with pierced, finely curved legs that lend a visually light and dynamic impression. The texture alternates between smooth surfaces and subtly stippled areas, while ornate, relief applications highlight refined craftsmanship. Clearly cast joints and decorative rivets can be seen. There are no visible repairs or damages; instead, delicate scratches, mellowed highlights, and authentic patina collectively testify to its genuineness and historic provenance. The frame is preserved in very good condition with subtle, age-appropriate signs of use.The frame evokes the spirit of French Art Nouveau—a period when design sought to bring people closer to nature and to the poetry of everyday beauty. Its form recalls the calm of morning mist winding over river bends: intertwining floral motifs guide the gaze, much like lines in the posters of Toulouse-Lautrec, while the antique gold gently reflects ambient light, conjuring the mood of a gracious old salon. Every embossed detail and subtle patina hint at a time when such an object served as a cherished family emblem, holding memories and stories within its borders.The frame may be elegantly displayed atop a marble console or a wooden sideboard, ideally accompanied by other
