Description from the seller
### Lot of 5 vintage oval metal frames with decorative details – portraits and figurative scenes
Interesting **lot consisting of 5 vintage oval frames**, all different in size and subject but united by rich ornamental workmanship.
The frames are made of **worked metal with brunified and gold finishes**, decorated with volutes, vegetal motifs and references to classical and rococo taste. The larger frames feature a broader, more dramatic design, while the smaller ones have a more compact and delicate profile.
Inside there are different **decorative reproductions**: female portraits in period clothing, a young man in a red suit, a scene with a female figure and a child, and a small landscape. The images contribute to the romantic and eclectic character of the ensemble.
The backs show different, partly lined and partly on a rigid panel, with **hooks for wall mounting**.
**Indicative dimensions:**
* larger frame: about **21.5 × 14.5 cm**
* smaller frame: about **13 × 8 cm**
* thickness: about **1–1.5 cm**
A group particularly suitable for a **gallery wall**, a composition in a classic, eclectic or maximalist style, or as a decorative set for a **Wunderkammer**.
The surfaces deliberately retain their patina, with oxidations, tonal variations and signs of age consistent with their age. They have not been aggressively polished to preserve their original character.
**Vintage condition, with normal signs of time, use and light wear of the finishes. The photographs are an integral part of the description and show in detail the conditions, back and mounting systems.**
