    I've seen a lot of these but no real idea. I'd guess 40s maybe.

    19C French Gilt Metal Photo Frames by Beatrice from circa 1890.

    Stamped “Beatrice” and Serial Number ‘ 1009P’.

    Hinged stand to the rear……..beautifully cast in floral designs with large flower on the top and clam shaped petal to the center base.

    From the Art Nouveau period !!

    RARE AND HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE !!!

    $200...more or less....( minus the art work ! )
    The hinged stand on mine has been cut off......

    $200? I should take more care of my stuff! I have thrown away many similar frames. Maybe one of them could had bought me a new bike which I desperately need.
