Antique Oval Brass Frame with Convex Glass & Victorian Photograph

Delicately crafted and rich with sentiment, this antique oval brass frame captures not only an image but a moment suspended in time. Featuring a finely engraved border and crowned with an ornate brass wreath handle for hanging, the frame exudes Edwardian elegance and quiet grace.

Behind the original convex glass rests a tender Victorian photograph—a mother lovingly holding her infant, a portrait of maternal devotion from a bygone era. On the reverse, etched by hand into the brass, a personal inscription reads:
"From Mama and Gran, June 21, '06. Taken at 3 months."
—an intimate detail that transforms this piece from a simple decorative object into a cherished heirloom.

Though the brass frame shows a gentle bend on one side, it only adds to the piece’s authenticity and charm—an honest trace of its journey through more than a century of love and memory.

A poignant keepsake, this small yet powerful frame tells a story of generations past—a perfect addition to a gallery wall, curio collection, or anyone drawn to the soulful beauty of antique portraiture.
