Victorian French Antique Picture Frame Brass Easel Back Gilt Metal Convex

Beautiful Antique French easel Back picture frame. Likely from the late 19th or early 20th centruy. It features an ornament gilt metal frame with a decorative ribbon and swag motif at the top. The main opening for the picture is oval shaped set within a rectangulary outer frame. The easel back design allows the frame to stand upright on a sufaceor it can be hung as there is a tiny loop on the top. There is a rounded convex glass over the picture area. It is really beautiful and heavy. Beautiful old patina. Nonsmoking home.
