Description from the seller
Liberty frame with original photograph – Bologna, late 19th / early 20th century.
Elegant hand-carved wooden picture frame, originating from Bologna, made between the late 19th and early 20th century (approximately 1895–1915), in the full Liberty / Art Nouveau style.
The frame features a refined decoration with floral and vegetal motifs, including leaves, flowers, and asymmetrical scrolls, typical of Italian Liberty style. The carving is deep and precise, indicating high-quality artisanal craftsmanship, likely intended for a bourgeois environment.
Inside, the original vintage photograph is preserved, depicting a female portrait in a formal pose, with clothing and hairstyle consistent with the Edwardian period. The photograph is in black and white, likely an albumen print or silver salts print, contemporary with the frame.
A decorative and collectible object of great charm, ideal for enthusiasts of Liberty, historical photography, and Italian decorative arts.
