ABOUT PRODUCTID 13587
This rectangular picture frame, dating from the 19th century, exemplifies the late classicist Empire style characteristic of the Austro-Hungarian cultural sphere. Its construction combines smooth, faceted glass panels that provide subtle reflections with a slender, gold-toned metal frame featuring a warm, gently patinated finish. A prominent feature is the ornamental ribbon at the top, cast in metal and richly detailed, while two gold ball feet offer support and lend refinement. The design is symmetrical, with the glass set neatly into the metal frame and no visible screws or modern fittings, indicative of traditional craftsmanship. The glass surfaces are smooth and polished, while the metal shows signs of age with an irregular patina. The frame is in good condition for its age, displaying typical wear and minor discoloration, but without any structural damage or evidence of major restoration; decorative elements remain in their authentic, Empire-style form.This frame evokes an era in which ornamentation and the rituals of daily life were closely intertwined. The sculpted ribbon acts as a discreet carrier of sentiment and memory, while the play of light on the faceted glass mirrors not only its surroundings but also echoes of the past. The gold metal, though worn, still suggests the dignity and ceremonial quality of a time when skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail framed family portraits and treasured keepsakes.This
