About the Item

Beautiful victorian picture frame from France, circa 1880s. French picture frames from the Victorian era are an expression of an epoch that was known for its decorative wealth and appreciation of art and craftsmanship. Their diverse styles and elaborate decorations make them fascinating testimonies to art history. In the salons of the wealthy bourgeoisie and aristocracy, such frames were a sign of taste and social status. They were carefully selected to emphasize the beauty and value of the photographs presented in them. Brass frames are distinguished by their characteristic golden color, which intensifies over time through the formation of a natural patina. They tell stories of times gone by and lend the works of art on display a special aura.
