As an excellent example of the Art Nouveau period, this antique sterling silver photograph frame exhibits naturalistic decorations and typical motifs of the style. The frame is fitted with its original blue velvet back and easel and the rectangular portrait aperture measures 140mm x 98mm (5½" x 4").

Art Nouveau was a compelling and energetic style in the visual arts which spanned from around the early 1890s to the First World War. Art Nouveau artists, and silversmiths inspired by plant forms and nature, took organic subjects and flattened and abstracted them into sophisticated, sinuous and flowing motifs.
