ABOUT PRODUCTID 3442
This Art Deco photo frame, crafted in Poland in the 1920s, embodies the geometric clarity characteristic of the era. Nickel-plated steel provides a cool, silvery foundation, shaped into a rectangular base with gently upturned ends. Two circular elements, in the same metallic finish, serve both as decorative and functional supports for the glass and photographs. A contrasting black strip—likely ebonized wood or Bakelite—runs along the base, lending the composition a graphic, linear quality. The frame is designed for double-sided display, with glass panels measuring 8.5 × 13.5 cm suitable for photos up to 10.5 × 6.6 cm. The metal shows minor age-related marks, including small spots of rust, yet the piece remains in very good condition, with precise detailing and well-executed construction. The form of this frame evokes the spirit of the 1920s—a time when modernity met decorative artistry. Its nickel-plated surface and interplay of black and silver tell a story of the Art Deco era’s fascination with industrial materials and machine-age precision. The frame seems quietly assertive—its clean lines and light geometric accents conjure images of modernist interiors, where every object was carefully considered and the ritual of displaying a photograph became part of daily life. This piece would sit well on a sideboard, desk, or console, especially among minimalist accessories—it suits arrangements inspired by modernism, Art Deco, as well as eclectic collector’s interiors. It can be paired with matte glass, black ceramics, or chromed lamps to emphasize its graphic character. The double-sided functionality allows for a rotation of personal memories, making it a subtle historical accent in both contemporary and classic settings.
