Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Antique Frame / Photo Holder in Art Nouveau Bronze – c. 1900.
Elegant and rare table photo frame, original from the Art Nouveau period (circa 1900). The piece stands out for its organic, flowing lines, typical of the movement, featuring an abundant decoration with floral motifs and asymmetrical, pierced foliate work that crowns the structure.
Made in a bronze/copper alloy cast, it preserves a dark, natural and authentic patina, untouched by time. It rests on two front stylized legs integrated into the ornamental design itself. The back shows the original terracotta-toned backing and the metal fixing lugs. A collectible piece ideal for lovers of turn-of-the-century design (Belle Époque).
Overall good condition considering its age. It presents patina and natural oxidation marks that attest to its antiquity.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
