Antique Belle Époque wood and brass frame

Antique wood frame with decorative brass crest, dating to the Belle Époque period (1870-1914). The ornate crest features classic Belle Époque motifs of ribbon and laurel, symbols of honor and romanticism, paired with the original hanging loop. The warm, understated wood frame contrasts beautifully with the detailed brass, offering a refined decorative balance typical of the era. The back retains its original brass fittings but is missing the stand (kickback), so it leans when displayed freestanding. it can also stand upright.

Measuring approximately 5.5 inches by 3 5/8 inches, it’s a striking piece whether hung or styled on a shelf. The sepia portrait of the young boy in a sailor suit adds charm, but the frame would also beautifully display your own photo or artwork.
