A Handsome Finish


Brass "Filagree" Photo Frame with Softly-Curved Glass (LEO Design)

 

A nice frame really sets-off the image within.  Whether looking at a painting in a museum or a photo on a bedside table, a good frame draws attention to the picture—and complements it—without overpowering or distracting from "the main event."

This photo frame, made in the Twenties or Thirties, is crafted of brass—pierced to give it a filigree effect.  The four corner embellishments provide a small flourish which helps conceal the joinery.  And the original glass is softly curved, giving the surface a slightly convex lift (which protects the image from direct contact with the glass).  Click on the photo above to learn more about this handsome frame.
