$58.00

This antique cast iron picture mirror frame is a stunning piece of art deco, art nouveau decor. The oval shape and all-over pattern make it a unique addition to any collection. The frame is suitable for a 4 x 6 oval photo, has a rear-loading photo insertion type, and oval glass insert is included. The attached metal easel folds flat when not in use, and has a beautifully etched design. The backing for the photo area is a thin piece of tin that has been painted to match the frame, and laminated so that it doesn’t scratch your photo or artwork. It is held in place by a thin, bendable metal strip that is attached to the frame which helps date it to the late 1800s to early 1900’s. There is a small place on the interior of the metal strip where there is some paint cracking (see last photo), but obviously will never show. Otherwise, this piece is in very nice condition for age. The only marking is the embossed number 541, or could be a 544.

Crafted in the Art Nouveau, Art Deco era, this original piece features durable and ornate features, with a painted bronze antique finish. The item measures 13 inches high x 9 inches wide x 6 inches deep with easel extended, and a vertical orientation. This free-standing frame is perfect for displaying your favorite photo, artwork or mirror and is sure to add a special touch of elegance to any room.
