About the Item

A quintessential example of 1970s Italian design, this striking photo frame combines rich tortoiseshell-effect bakelite with a clear Lucite insert. The frame (20 × 25 cm) with softly rounded corners is rendered in warm amber and chocolate swirls, evoking the depth and luster of genuine tortoise shell. A recessed, transparent Lucite window holds your favorite image, while a hinged bakelite easel on the back (10 cm deep) allows for both tabletop and mantel display. Crafted in Italy circa 1970, the frame’s polished surfaces catch the light beautifully, highlighting the organic movement of the marbled pattern. The combination of classic materiality and clean, minimal form makes it an ideal accent for mid-century modern or contemporary interiors. Date: Circa 1970 Country of Origin: Italy Materials: Bakelite with tortoiseshell effect, clear Lucite Dimensions: 20 cm W × 25 cm H × 10 cm D Signed on the brass hinge “Made in Italy,” this frame is a superb desk or tabletop accessory for photographs, small works on paper, or as a standalone sculptural object.
