ABOUT PRODUCTID 1734
This late 19th to early 20th-century Austro-Hungarian photo frame is crafted from gilded brass, forming a rectangular structure composed of four vertical and horizontal rods with a woven, basket-like texture. The corners are joined with traditional craftsmanship, showing no visible screws or modern fasteners. The surface displays a warm, antique gold tone with a subtly matte finish, evoking the refined restraint typical of the era. Decorative brass loops, symmetrically positioned at the top, bottom, and sides, introduce a rhythmic, Art Nouveau character with their stylized, organic curves and flowing lines. The tactile, patterned finish mimics woven metal, enhancing the sense of fine detail. Designed to stand upright with a rear supporting leg (typical of frames from this period), it accommodates photos sized 10.5 × 6.5 cm. The condition is very good, with only slight patina and minimal wear that authenticate its age and origin. This frame quietly tells the story of an era when Art Nouveau brought organic softness and ornamental grace into everyday objects. The matte gold brass surface recalls the refined ambiance of Austro-Hungarian parlors, whispering of family portraits, cherished keepsakes, and the gentle passage of time. Its restrained form and delicate decoration reflect the period’s belief that art and utility could harmoniously coexist, infusing even the smallest objects with a sense of poetic detail. The frame can be displayed on a living room sideboard, where it pairs naturally with other antiques or a collection of Art Nouveau curiosities. It would also suit a bedroom vanity table among porcelain boxes and art glass. The gold tone and delicate silhouette complement pastel textiles, or can be grouped with mirrors in gilded frames to create a calm, historic rhythm within the interior.
