About the Item

We are delighted to offer this large Italian tabletop picture frame, dating to the mid-20th century and handcrafted in embossed copper sheet. Dating approximately from the 1930s to the 1950s, this refined rectangular picture frame beautifully combines the more rigorous, geometric elements of Art Deco with the softer and more decorative details that became fashionable in the 1950s. Its generous proportions make it particularly well suited for displaying a large photograph commemorating a meaningful occasion, such as a wedding, or a cherished portrait of someone special. The embossed copper sheet has been strictly preserved in its naturally aged patina. As light catches the raised edges and textured surface of the metal, it creates beautiful reflections and an especially striking contrast with the black-and-white photographic image. The frame measures: Height: 30.5 cm (12 in.) Width: 24.5 cm (9.65 in.) Depth: 2.5 cm (0.98 in.) The photo opening measures: Height: 23 cm (9.06 in.) Width: 17 cm (6.69 in.) The back of the frame is made from a thin sheet of plywood that has become gently curved over time. Despite this natural aging, it still functions perfectly for securely holding the photograph in place. The glass has recently been replaced by a trusted artisan. A matching companion frame from the same period is also available in our 1stDibs collection, featuring the same design executed in aluminum rather than copper. Please feel free to reach out with any additional questions. We will be happy to provide further information.
