Vintage Floral Oval Picture Frame, 5 x 7 in, Gold

Description

Five by seven is the scale the oval portrait was invented at. Smaller and it reads as a keepsake, larger and it takes over the room, but at this size a single face sits at roughly the proportion a visitor expects on a hallway wall, a mantel or the top of a piano, and it needs nothing else around it.

The gold floral border is what makes it period rather than merely old-fashioned. Flowers cast into the molding and brushed in gold are a Victorian habit, and in a current room the interesting part is the mismatch: the frame is speaking for one century and the photograph inside it for another.

A standard 5 by 7 print goes in and the oval crops its corners, so keep the subject well away from the edges. Polyresin body with intricate hand-finished detail, clear stain-resistant glass, easel stand, built-in metal hanging hooks, and a back that opens for a photo change in a minute.
