{"product_id":"french-louis-xvi-gilt-brass-picture-frame-circa-1900","title":"Mini Antique French Louis XVI Gilt Brass Picture Frame, Circa 1900","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA petite Louis XVI revival picture frame in gilt brass, French, made during the Belle Époque when Parisian taste returned wholesale to the neoclassical vocabulary of the 1770s and 1780s. The crest is the reason to look twice. A pierced tied ribbon and bow sits centered between floral swags, framed below by a beaded border and a rais-de-coeur molding around the picture opening. The folding easel back works on a tabletop, and the hanging ring at the top means it works equally well on a wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Type | Picture Frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Material | Gilt brass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Origin | France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1890 to 1910, Belle Époque\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Style | Louis XVI revival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Overall Size | 4 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Picture Aperture | 2 in W x 3 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Hardware | Folding brass easel back, hanging ring at top\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Orientation | Tabletop or wall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe frame is in good antique condition with honest age-appropriate wear. The gilt brass surface shows oxidation and patina across the entire frame, with the original gilding well preserved on the front and crest. The pierced ribbon and bow crest is intact with no losses to the floral swags or the central bow. The beaded border and the rais-de-coeur molding around the picture opening are crisp and complete. The back plate shows expected discoloration and a few small surface marks consistent with age and handling. The folding easel back is present and functions correctly. The hanging ring at the top is intact. No glass or backing board is present. The frame is ready to be fitted with glass and a backing of your choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51314917015830,"sku":"AMD-03040","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/LaBelleBrocante-978.jpg?v=1778807262","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/french-louis-xvi-gilt-brass-picture-frame-circa-1900","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
