This Art Deco photo frame dates from 1930 and comprises a silver-toned chrome metal structure with a glass pane. The rectangular metallic border has a bamboo edge moulding, and the back is made of wood with an easel support. Inside the frame sits an Art Deco illustration depicting theatrical figures against a black background, with visible red and green diamond patterns on clothing and a cream-coloured margin at the bottom. The metal is marked 'Staybrite Steel Made in England'. The item stands 23 cm high, 17.8 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Placed on a mantelpiece or a side table in a living room or study, it houses a favourite photograph or print while bringing period character to an interior.

FAQs

Art Deco framing emerged in the 1920s and 1930s, defined by sleek metallic finishes, bold geometric silhouettes, and stylized decorative trims such as faux-bamboo or step-moulding.

Frames from this era were typically constructed from polished chrome, silver plate, brass, bakelite, and glass, often featuring minimal structural profiles to highlight the central image.

Authentic period frames feature original glass, aged metal plating showing natural oxidisation, period-correct easel backs, and characteristic 1920s geometric or streamlined decorative motifs.

Place the frame on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf alongside glassware and polished metal accents to create a curated vignette that blends historical character with modern interiors.

Clean glass panels with a lint-free cloth and mild glass cleaner, while gently dusting the metallic border with a dry microfibre towel, avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners that strip metal plating.
