{"product_id":"french-brass-photo-frame-bow-crest","title":"Vintage French Brass Tension Picture Frame","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"_chunkWrapper_6ta1u_30\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA French brass tension picture frame with a stamped bow-and-ribbon crest, beveled glass panel, and original easel back. The tension format is the whole point of this design — the brass mount grips the glass at the top and bottom rail so a photograph slots in against the brass back with the glass face holding it in place, no backing board, no mat, nothing between the image and the eye. The bow crest with its center heart motif and flanking ribbon scrolls is Louis XVI Revival in style, a decorative vocabulary that French brass manufacturers carried well into the 20th century. The piece retains its original ball feet and hanging ring and can stand on a dressing table or hang flat on a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Tension picture frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Brass, beveled glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Crest | Stamped brass bow-and-ribbon with center heart motif, Louis XVI Revival style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | 20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Louis XVI Revival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Picture size | 4 in W x 8 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Frame size | 4 in W x 9.5 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Feet | Ball feet, two front, one rear easel foot\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Hardware | Brass easel strut, hanging ring intact\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Display | Freestanding or wall-hung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe frame is in good vintage condition. The brass mount has a warm patina consistent with age. The stamped bow-and-ribbon crest is intact with no losses. The easel strut is present and functions correctly, holding the frame at a stable angle. The hanging ring below the crest is intact. The ball feet are all present. The beveled plate glass has minor chips to the beveled edges on the sides, consistent with age and handling. These chips are confined to the angled faceted perimeter and do not affect the flat display face of the glass. The green tint visible in the beveled edges is characteristic of period plate glass and is original to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51440389980438,"sku":"AMD-03176","price":290.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/June_Enland_2026-3202.jpg?v=1781722428","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/french-brass-photo-frame-bow-crest","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
