ABOUT PRODUCTID 13624
This Empire-style picture frame, dating to early 20th-century France, is made entirely of brass with a warm golden hue. The design follows classical Empire tradition: a top crest features a sculpted lion’s head, flanked by volute scrolls and acanthus leaves, while vertical and bottom edges display delicate, twisted rope-like ornamentation. Corners are highlighted with stylized foliate details. The inner border is gently curved, nearly oval, softening the otherwise rectangular outer silhouette. Brass surfaces show a moderately glossy satin finish, with age-appropriate patina and subtle toning in the recesses, confirming the authenticity and period character. Precisely executed solder joints and structural connections reinforce the refined quality of the craftsmanship, and the whole frame stands stably on two slender feet. All decorative elements remain original and harmoniously composed. The condition is very good—there are no dents, deep scratches, or signs of repair—only a gentle, noble surface patina is visible.The frame echoes the distinguished voice of French Empire—an era at the dawn of the 20th century when modern ambitions met a renewed fascination with ancient forms. The lion’s head presides as a guardian of bygone memories, while the brass’s golden shimmer gently recalls Napoleonic grandeur, balancing ornamental richness with classical restraint. Dimmed recesses tell of passing time, and the slightly oval, softened inner profile adds intimacy to the monumentality of the era.The frame can be used to display a portrait, a vintage family photograph, or an academic-style drawing—particularly effective with sepia prints or delicate graphite sketches. It may be combined with other Empire or neoclassical objects—placed atop a mahogany writing desk or amongst porcelain curios—to introduce a refined
