ABOUT PRODUCTID 15586
This original 1920s Art Deco photo frame is a representative piece of the era’s ornamental discipline and material innovation, combining high-gloss black bakelite with polished brass accents. Its rectangular form, softened by rounded corners, reflects the period’s pursuit of balanced geometry and sophistication. A brass border in golden tones frames the photo area, while the corners feature silver-toned half-fan motifs – a characteristic Art Deco decorative accent. The surfaces are lustrous and smooth, and every element reveals careful precision: seamless contours, sharply finished edges, and the satisfying weight of quality material. The rear support and sturdy hinge are crafted from brass, providing stability and a visual continuity with the frame’s front detailing. The condition is very good; only minor superficial scratches, typical for dignified vintage use, are visible, with no cracks, repairs, or alterations to the original construction. The frame appears to convey the spirit of an era that saw black synthetic materials as the height of modernity, while the gold hue of brass introduced light and a hint of decadent glamour to interiors. Its glossy surface reflects ambient light, and the half-fan corner motifs evoke the dynamic energy and style of the interwar years—a sense that the optimism and rhythm of jazz age evenings will linger indefinitely. Through geometric lines and fine materials, the frame echoes the hope of designers that modernity could find its place in everyday rituals. This piece could be displayed on a dark wood console or a glass tabletop to accentuate the depth of its blackness and the interplay of materials. It may be arranged with other period objects—brass candlesticks, geometric mirrors, or minimalist ceramics—to create a dialogue within a contemporary Art Deco living room or a collector’s space. Paired with chrome lighting or marble accessories, the photo frame will subtly reinforce the historic narrative
