An elegant double photo frame in blackened copper, in the manner of Much, dating from around 1880, featuring refined ornamentation typical of the emerging Art Nouveau style. Blackened copper is a dense and durable metal, often used in high-end decorative objects of the 19th century.
This piece stands out for its remarkable chiseling work, composed of sinuous scrolls and stylized floral motifs that evoke the organic forms cherished by late 19th-century artists. The frame houses two original photographic portraits, likely studio-made, silent witnesses to a bygone family memory.
The dark patina of the copper lends the object depth and nobility, making it both a characterful decorative piece and a historical testimony. A rare item, ideal for discerning collectors or lovers of decorative arts.
In good overall condition, with minor wear consistent with age. The weight of 960 grams is no coincidence — it reflects the quality and craftsmanship of this Art Nouveau frame.
