Antique oval frame, wood, black with gold trim, some damage in places but still very decorative, France, around 1880
| Availability: | In stock |
A charming antique French frame, made of wood with a golden inner edge.
Simple, and gently worn in places. But if you visit this webshop often enough, you’ll know that it is precisely that worn quality I have rather a soft spot for.
And despite — or in my view, thanks to — that, this frame (and it is not a particularly large one) has exactly the right presence. The contrast between the darker outer frame and the soft gold on the inside gives it a certain elegance. The wear, in turn, adds a touch of robustness — and keeps it from taking itself too seriously.
Lovely for a small painting or a mirror. Or simply on its own, empty. Because sometimes a frame like this doesn’t need much at all.
Dimensions:
outer frame: height 50 cm (approx. 19.7 inches), width 41 cm (approx. 16.1 inches).
image size: height 36 cm (approx. 14.2 inches), width 30 cm (approx. 11.8 inches).
