ABOUT PRODUCTID 1960
This Polish photo frame from the 1920s is crafted in the spirit of Art Deco, combining chromed brass with a cool, silvery sheen and a substantial, polished black marble base streaked with natural white and beige veining. Its geometric, almost futuristic form—marked by symmetrical composition and sharp angles—embodies the aesthetics of an era where ornamentation met functionality. Designed to display a photograph between two glass panes held securely within the metal structure, the frame’s proportions are carefully balanced: the wide, low marble base provides stability while the vertical frame draws the eye toward the image. Measuring 16 cm in height, 19 cm in length, and 6 cm in width, the frame holds a 9 × 14 cm photograph. The condition is very good: the chrome retains its brightness, the marble is smooth, and any minor surface scratches or patina are consistent with its age. The frame tells the story of the 1920s—a time when modernism encountered luxury and everyday objects took on dynamic new forms. Its cool metallic sheen and the contrast with marble evoke the refined atmosphere of period salons, where family photographs were presented as intimate treasures. This is architecture in miniature, conscious of its purpose: to highlight both a cherished memory and its own sculptural presence. The interplay of geometric metalwork and the tactile weight of stone echoes an age when every detail was designed for harmony and modernity. The frame could be placed on a sideboard, desk, or an antique display shelf—its form pairs well with dark wood, classic marble, or glass accents. It may be combined with other geometric accessories from the period or introduced into a contemporary interior as a singular, striking detail. The piece works beautifully alongside minimalist ceramics, brass accents,
