Antique French Oval Frame with Original Bubble Glass

Antique French Oval Frame with Original Bubble Glass
Ornate gilded Brass with Bow & Rose Garland | c. 1900–1920
5″ × 3⅜″ | Original Sepia Photograph Included

Description:
A finely detailed French brass frame in an elegant oval silhouette, complete with its original domed glass — often called “bubble glass” — and its original sepia photograph of a uniformed gentleman, likely early 20th century.

The frame is adorned with a romantic ribbon bow crest and a delicate garland of roses cascading down each side. The back features the original easel stand and hanging ring, allowing for tabletop or wall display. The sepia photograph rests behind domed convex glass, adding depth and softness while also protecting the image.

A quiet and intimate piece that holds both historical and decorative charm — perfect on a bedside table, desk, or styled within a larger gallery wall.

Details:

• Dimensions: 5″ tall × 3⅜″ wide

• Material: gilded Brass with original patina

• Glass: Original convex (“bubble”) glass

• Back: Original black textured board with hinged easel stand and hanging loop

• Condition: Excellent antique condition with rich patina and only minor surface wear consistent with age. Original photograph shows some fading but remains crisp.

Styling Notes:
Lovely styled on a bookshelf, dressing table, or in a cabinet of curiosities. The rich gold tone and soft domed glass make it especially eye-catching when it catches the light. Leave the photograph in place as a moody historical moment, or insert your own portrait or miniature art.
