FAQs

Art Deco picture frames from the 1920s and 1930s are characterised by geometric lines, streamlined arches, and sleek metallic finishes that reflect the modernist aesthetic of the period.

These frames were commonly constructed using silver-plated base metals, brass, bronze, and sometimes incorporated materials such as enamel, glass, or celluloid.

Authentic pieces often feature period-specific fasteners, traditional easel backs made of wood or velvet, makers marks or registration numbers, and natural ageing or oxidisation on the metal surface.

Pairing this piece with modern minimalist decor or placing it on a dark wood mantelpiece creates a striking contrast that highlights its vintage metallic lustre.

Use a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust and apply a specialised non-abrasive metal polish sparingly, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the antique plating.
