Description from the seller

No reserve price!

Pair of Antique French Tabletop Picture Frames – Louis XVI Style – Beveled Glass and Brass.

Elegant pair of small antique tabletop picture frames (easel frames), made in France and dating from the late 19th or early 20th century (Napoleon III period).

Each piece consists of a thick sheet of genuine glass with sophisticated beveled edges. The rear support structure and ornaments are decorated in patinated brass/bronze. The top features a refined openwork ribbon-bow finial (nœud de ruban), characteristic of the Louis XVI style.

They stand on two geometric/spherical feet at the base and feature the original central spring mechanism and hinged rear support (easel-type). Very charming pieces, ideal for collectors or for displaying old photographs and vintage boudoir decor.

Very minor, tiny flaws in the glass; please note that the frames are very similar but are not an exact pair.

Seller's Story

Antiques are my enormous passion; all the items I have up for auction were found at antique fairs and from antique dealers mainly in the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original and obviously beautiful. Quality guarantee and very careful shipping of the pieces. ATTENTION: If you are interested in one of my pieces that has a reserve price, please note that I will absolutely not offer it for less than 80% of the reserve value of the piece. And I should also note that if that piece is not sold here on Catawiki, I will sell it at another auction house, so if you’re really interested in any of my pieces, buy it when you see it the first time. Thank you very much
