My photos show
that there is a lot of activity on this frame with the center boasting an
unusual figure of a dog. Above and below that are the push down to open clasp
and the little dangling pull wreath, both of these qualities are well recognized
on French frames as well as the flower basket finials that hold the French
double chain handle. The hinges and clasp are solid and there are no repairs, damages or problems
otherwise.
The sides of the frame are flanked with exotic figures sitting atop Art Nouveau
crescent shaped designs. The clasp looks like a flower top and all exterior
aspects of this frame are detailed including scalloped edges. If the frame is silver plated,
it looks to be intact, I don't really see any wear to the metal, just loads of
character and appeal. I have cleaned this frame for you but only a little, it is in excellent
antique condition, no damages but no markings as to origin.
This frame has a wonderful shape and size with both sides being identical,
measuring as follows: 6 & 3/4 across the hinges, 6 & 1/4 at the widest
sew hole to sew hole, 2 inch interior arch, 3 inch total arch to the clasp and
the French double chain drops 6 & 1/2 inches. This frame will gracefully crown a micro
beaded purse or velvet creation with class and distinction. Please consider taking it home
to dress up your collection.
