Description from the seller
A beautiful antique double photo frame dating from circa 1930, featuring exceptionally detailed hand-carved chip decoration in a Northern European folk-art tradition with clear Art Nouveau influences.
The frame is richly decorated with symmetrical floral and foliate motifs, geometric patterns, star-shaped details and intricate chip-carved borders. The warm natural wood and elaborate carving give the piece a distinctive decorative character. Designed to display two photographs side by side, it retains both original glass panes and the original hanging fitting.
The combination of detailed hand carving, strong symmetry and charming early-20th-century character makes this an attractive decorative and functional piece for both collectors and interiors.
