Miniature Gilt Metal Frames
Antique pair of oval miniature frames crafted in gilt metal, bearing a patent stamp dated May 19, 1908 on the reverse. Richly detailed with classical ornamentation and fitted with original wire easel backs, these frames reflect the refined decorative tastes of the Edwardian era.
Their petite scale and stripe pattern paper-backed interiors make them ideal for displaying miniature portraits, small engravings, or for styling as elegant decorative accents on shelves, vanities, or bedside tables. The warm patina and timeworn surfaces speak to over a century of age and use.
A wonderful example of early 20th-century decorative metalwork, and a rare find with a clearly documented patent date.
