Immerse your space in Old World charm with this exquisite antique French folding diptych picture frame. Dating from the late 19th to early 20th century (circa 1890–1910), this double-panel frame is a beautiful example of Belle Époque vanity accessories and travel portraiture.
Each panel features an elegant arched camelback silhouette, masterfully upholstered in a muted floral and foliate jacquard brocade textile with earthy tones of olive green, tan, and antique gold. The borders are seamlessly bound by a matching, intricate metallic gimp trim braid. Inside, the photo windows are lined with a striking olive green silk moiré (watered silk) backing, offering a luxurious, period-correct contrast for your favorite vintage portraits, sketches, or dried botanicals.
Designed to fold flat for travel or sit beautifully angled on a vanity, desk, or mantel, this rare textile frame is an exceptional find for collectors of historic European accents.
