A late 19th-century frame from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, crafted in metal—most likely brass or a brass alloy—presenting a warm, golden tone with expressive patina. The frame’s rectangular silhouette is defined by slender, straight rods forming a minimalist perimeter, crowned at the top by a simple triangular hanger for vertical display. No ornament or engraving distracts from the clarity of the form, and the entire piece stands on two small dark pads acting as base supports. The timeworn surface displays evident wear: areas of worn-away gilding, oxidation, and irregular coloration, particularly along the edges and corners, testify to decades of use. Inside is a period sepia-toned portrait photograph, original to the piece.
