Description from the seller
Set of 5 antique frames – carved ebony wood.
Magnificent set of five antique frames, crafted from genuine ebony wood, finely carved in a 19th-century neo-baroque style. Each frame features rich ornamental work: floral motifs, elegant curves, and symmetrical elements characteristic of the Victorian and Napoléon III styles.
Details:
Wood: handcrafted solid ebony (front face)
Two: classic wooden back panels (not ebony), in excellent condition.
Glass: all the glasses have been recently replaced, new and transparent.
Photos: vintage portrait photographs on old paper, probably from the late 19th to early 20th century.
Composition :
Two large frames, 27 x 19.5 cm: portraits of a woman and a couple in wedding attire.
Two medium-sized frames, 18 x 12.5 cm: portraits of a man and a woman.
1 decorative element (green apple not included) used here to provide a reference scale.
State:
Very good overall condition, despite the age of its parts.
A few minor functional defects that are not visible, related to the adjustment of the rear wood or the holding system, without impact on aesthetics or structure.
An authentic and refined decorative piece
Perfect for a characterful decoration, a classic interior, or a display case for a collection. This set combines historical authenticity with careful presentation, along with the comfort of modernized elements (new glasses).
Protected shipping with premium packaging, images are part of the description, insured delivery, and relay point delivery if possible. Shipping costs are very high, but you only pay part of it.
