Rare Victorian Gilt Frame Deep Glazed Box Velvet Mount Child Portrait. (N)

19th century
Description

This is a rare 19th century box frame of extremely fine quality in the most excellent condition dating from the Victorian era circa 1880. These box frames were expensive fine quality pieces so are fairly scare. The rosewood outer case is velvet lined with a curved cushion interior that holds the gilded gesso frame. The ornate detail of the gilded gesso is extremely fine and crisp having been protected behind glass for over 150 years.

This is one of 12 that we currently have listed from a good collection of Victorian frames all in perfect condition.

They include images on porcelain and also images highlighted in paint etc. The photographs carry the signature for the renowned G T Jones Photographers, Kingsway, Surbiton, who had the patronage of HRH The Queen as well as other royals (see last photo). The sheer quality of all of the frames really does reflect this connection.

Please see our other items.

This measures 39 cms by 34 cms overall.

The aperture of the gilt frame inside is 24 x 19

The aperture of the arched gilt slip is 19 x 13.5 cms.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
