About the Item

Wonderful brass picture frame, France, probably 1895. Picture size: 5,5 cm x 8,7 cm. On the back of the photo is a handwritten dedication from 1985, which describes the child in the photo as “Mademoiselle Colette Madiquiere - agée de 15 mois”. French picture frames from the Neoclassicism era are an expression of an epoch that was known for its decorative wealth and appreciation of art and craftsmanship. The golden color of the brass with its warm sheen adds a special touch to any interior. These frames are often adorned with ornate decorations and intricate patterns that emphasize the character of the frame and make it an eye-catcher. The color of the brass intensifies over time through the formation of a natural patina. In the salons of the wealthy bourgeoisie and aristocracy, such frames were a sign of taste and social status. They were carefully selected to highlight the beauty and value of the photographs presented in them. They tell stories of times gone by and lend the works of art on display a special aura.
