This pair of French Louis XVI style picture frames dates from 1900. Made from gilt brass and glass, the gold frames take an oval aperture form with decorative ribbon bow crests, beaded borders, and curved scrolled feet on the standing example. The set measures 25 cm high and 17 cm wide, incorporating brass rings to the back along with three screws that permit access to remove the back and change the picture. One frame is displayed standing upright while the other rests flat on a surface. Suitable for placement on a mantelpiece to display personal photographs, these items bring a classic French chateau decorative style to an interior. The gold-coloured metal provides a traditional look that complements various room settings.

FAQs

French Louis XVI style frames, originating in the late eighteenth century and revived around 1900, typically feature neoclassical symmetry, oval apertures, beaded borders, and stylized ribbon or bow motifs at the top.

Frames from this period were commonly cast from brass or bronze, followed by gilded finishes to create a gold surface, and fitted with glass panels and easel or loop backings.

Authentic period frames display natural oxidisation on exposed brass surfaces, sharp casting or hand-chased decorative details, and historical closure tabs or velvet-backed support panels.

Placing small gilt frames on a mantelpiece, bedside table, or layered within a bookshelf display adds subtle warmth and texture to contemporary interiors.

Dust the frames gently with a dry microfibre cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pastes that could remove the original gilt finish.
