Offered is a charming matching pair of small antique Arts & Crafts / Edwardian hand-punched tin picture frames, complete with their original c. 1910 portraits.
The Frames: Crafted from lightweight sheet tin featuring detailed hand-punched geometric and floral corner motifs, raised dome rivets, and scored borders. Both frames retain their original working metal backing clasps, glass, and easel stands.
The Photos: Includes two original period portraits. One is a Real Photo Postcard (RPPC), and the other is a regular photograph featuring a period ink signature on the back identifying the subject as "Frances L. Bell, Sep. 18, 1910".
Measurements:
Rectangular frame: Approx. 5.5" x 4"
Square frame: Approx. 4.5" x 4.5"
Condition: Good antique condition overall with sturdy, functioning clasps. The glass has been carefully removed and cleaned. Please note the handmade charm: the tin edgings and components feature slight, natural irregularities from the period craftsmanship, and the fit within the frames has a bit of rustic looseness. The vintage photographs also display age-appropriate discoloration and surface wear consistent with their history.
A wonderful, authentic matching set for rustic, farmhouse, or historical decor display. Or replace them with your own photos!
