Description: This poignant Art Deco mourning frame holds a story of love and remembrance. Imagine a grieving daughter in 1926, cherishing the memory of her mother by displaying her photograph in this beautiful oval frame. The frame, with its delicate design and velvet covering, whispers of a time when displaying photographs of loved ones was a tangible expression of grief and devotion. Frame hinge is broken and interior celluloid photo cover is cracked. The sepia-toned photograph captures the gentle face of a woman, her expression frozen in time. The frame itself is a classic Art Deco design, featuring clean lines and geometric patterns, measuring 3 inches in diameter – a substantial size for a frame of this era. The velvet covering, though showing signs of age and wear, adds a touch of softness and elegance. The inscription "Mother" on the interior lining speaks volumes about the deep bond between the woman in the photograph and the original owner of this treasured keepsake. Displaying photographs of loved ones was a significant part of Victorian and Edwardian culture, and this frame reflects the continuation of that tradition into the Art Deco era. It served as a tangible reminder of a loved one, offering comfort and solace to those left behind. Why You Will Be Obsessed With It: This mourning frame is more than just a decorative piece; it's a window into the past, a testament to the enduring power of love and memory. The combination of the Art Deco design, the personal inscription, and the touching photograph creates a truly unique and evocative piece. At 3 inches in diameter, this frame makes a statement, showcasing the beautiful photograph within. While the velvet shows its age, the frame and photo remain in good condition, ready to be cherished by a new owner. Whether you're a collector of mourning memorabilia, a history enthusiast, or simply appreciate the beauty of antique objects with a story to tell, this frame is sure to capture your heart.
