This hanging photo frame from 1930s Sweden exemplifies the refined craftsmanship that bridges late Art Deco with functionalist principles. Crafted from black ebonite with a smooth, subtly reflective finish, it features a narrow brass accent that outlines the inner edge, providing a delicate contrast. The gently rounded contours and slightly convex profile are complemented by the original domed glass, creating a harmonious, minimalist form. The frame is designed for a 13.5 × 9.4 cm photograph and includes a metal hook at the back for wall display. It is sold with a period-appropriate black-and-white portrait photograph. The construction is solid, the joinery precise; the surface shows only minimal signs of age, such as fine scratches and a gentle patina on the brass, with no visible cracks or losses. Overall condition is very good. This frame echoes the spirit of the 1930s—a time when Swedish design sought a balance between ornamentation and restraint. The black ebonite and brass accent speak in a reserved yet distinctive voice, as if the frame recalls quiet parlors where photographs were both memory and art. The convex glass gently bends the light, highlighting the depth of the portrait and the stories held within. It could be paired with other Art Deco-era pieces—a geometric ebony console or mirrors with streamlined forms. The frame would suit a living room or bedroom wall, especially against muted, matte backgrounds or subtly textured fabrics. It is worth combining it with pale ceramics, glass, or a single graphic artwork to emphasize the contrast of materials and its collectible character.
