I am offering an original pair of antique photo frames from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, made of thick, beveled glass set in a simple metal structure with decorative spherical feet.
The frames are in the form of cabinet frames, designed to be displayed on a desk, chest of drawers, or shelf. They have retained their original cardboard backs and metal adjustable supports.
The set includes original period studio photographs (Alsace, ca. 1900–1910), which are a historical addition and emphasize the authenticity of the set. The photographs can be easily replaced.
Dating and origin:
period: ca. 1895–1910
origin: Europe (Central Europe / Alsace)
style: pre-Art Nouveau / Belle Époque
Materials and technique:
thick beveled glass
metal elements (feet, supports)
original cardboard backs
Dimensions (each frame):
height: approx. 11 cm
width: approx. 6 cm

Good to very good, consistent with age:
natural metal patina
minor signs of wear
glass complete, no cracks

Collector's notes
Sets of two identical frames from this period are much rarer than single copies. The thick, bevelled glass and preserved original construction make this set attractive both to collectors of old photographs and to interior designers looking for authentic period details.
