A Mixed Lot of Five Small Vintage and Antique Picture Frames
This lot comprises five small vintage and antique picture frames, one of which features a Georgian silhouette. The group includes a profile silhouette of a man within a narrow brass frame with a twisted rope-style border, a gilt oval frame decorated with cherubs and a cluster of roses, and three rectangular brass frames housing printed and photographic images. These comprise a sepia-toned photograph of a woman in a light dress standing before a cottage, a coloured postcard titled “The Shepherdess” bearing the name Millais, and a vignette of a robin. The brass frames feature decorative beaded and textured borders, and the gilt frame is finished with ball feet at its base.
Condition and Collectable Appeal
Each frame is offered as seen, and the gilt frame carries a handwritten price tag attached to its front. Further detail on wear and originality is not stated in this description, so prospective buyers are encouraged to view the lot in person or contact the saleroom with specific questions before bidding. The mix of silhouette portraiture, Edwardian-style photographic and printed imagery, and decorative metalwork makes this group of interest to collectors of small antique frames, Georgian silhouettes, and ephemera. It would also suit those looking to display a varied selection of period pieces together.
