The frame retains its original brass easel stand leg, offering a blend of historical authenticity and aesthetic charm that enhances its appeal.
The Art Nouveau movement, which flourished from the late 19th century until the early 20th century, Art Nouveau celebrated craftsmanship, originality, and nature-inspired forms. Artists and artisans sought to harmonise art with functionality, drawing on the organic shapes of plants, flowers, and flowing lines to craft designs that were both beautiful and practical.
Brass, favoured for its versatility and durability, became a popular material for frames during this period. Its malleability allowed artisans to create ornate and intricate designs, while its resilience ensured these pieces stood the test of time. Ribbon scrolls, such as the one featured on this frame, were particularly prized, symbolising grace and continuity.
