{"product_id":"vintage-french-gilt-brass-photo-frame","title":"Vintage French Gilt Brass Photo Frame","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA small round photo frame in gilt brass, French, in the Louis XVI taste. The tied ribbon bow at the top is the detail that makes it. It sits above a slim laurel leaf border that runs the full way around the bezel, and the whole thing rests on a hand bent wire easel so it stands on a shelf or a desk. The neoclassical bow and laurel vocabulary was a French decorative staple, reproduced steadily through the early decades of the twentieth century, and this is a charming small example of it. No glass. The frame takes a round photo a little under three inches across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Photo Frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Gilt brass\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 | Circa 1920 to 1950, early to mid 20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Style | Louis XVI, neoclassical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Crest | Tied ribbon bow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Border | Cast laurel leaf\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Back | Wire easel stand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Size | 3 in H x 2.5 in W x 1.75 in D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Glass | None\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 with honest age-appropriate wear. The gilding is worn in spots across the front border and the bow, with the brass showing through in places, and the back has the dark spotting and light oxidation you would expect on a piece of this age. The cast laurel border is intact with no losses, and the ribbon bow crest is solid and undamaged. The wire easel back is original, hand bent, and holds the frame upright at a stable angle. There is no glass. The interior holds a round photo just under three inches across.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482299728150,"sku":"AMD-03418","price":90.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/DSA09660.jpg?v=1789665551","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/vintage-french-gilt-brass-photo-frame","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
