AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful large double photo frame by Walter Scherf & Co., Isis. The frame is made of tin and then gilded. The gilding is worn here and there due to aging. The tin shows signs of light corrosion.
This large photo frame is certainly a beautiful addition to any collection of Art Nouveau objects.

The photo frame comes with both original glass plates.
On the back the frame is marked with "Isis" and the model number 675. Isis is the brand that was carried by the German manufacturer Walter Scherf & Co alongside the Osiris brand. The Isis brand was introduced in 1902.

Original Jugendstil photo frames are rare. But a double one, and also marked by a renowned manufacturer, you almost never find.
