ABOUT PRODUCTID 11596
This pair of Belgian photo frames from the 1930s exemplifies meticulous Art Deco craftsmanship. Each frame features a rectangular pane of transparent, highly polished glass, held upright between two spherical wooden supports finished in a honey-brown lacquer with a glossy surface. The base is a flat, clear glass plate, providing both stability and a sense of visual lightness. The juxtaposition of cool, pristine glass with the organic warmth of wood recalls the material contrasts typical of the Art Deco period. The frames’ proportions emphasize geometric simplicity and symmetry, with no visible fasteners or hardware, preserving the purity of form. Both frames are in very good condition—glass and wood remain free from damage or notable wear, maintaining an authentic, well-preserved appearance.These frames evoke the interwar years, when disciplined form met a search for harmony and natural softness. The glass reflects light with crystalline clarity, while the wooden spheres soften the silhouette, as if holding memories of family portraits and bygone moments. In this expression of Art Deco, there’s a celebration of order, geometry, and understated elegance, never overwhelming the photograph displayed but subtly enhancing it.The frames could be paired with dark wood furniture typical of the 1930s or with modern consoles and geometrically framed mirrors. In classic interiors, they would complement a collection of vintage photographs, while in more eclectic settings they could serve as a counterpoint to contemporary accents—Murano glass, metal, or ceramics. Placed on a sideboard or shelf, they integrate well amid neutral textiles and singular decorative objects, subtly emphasizing the personal character of the space.
