Antique Mother-of-Pearl Inlay Picture Frame with French Fashion Plate

An elegant antique brass picture frame dating to the late Victorian to early Edwardian period (circa 1890–1915), featuring delicate mother-of-pearl inlay and ornate corner detailing. The frame houses a French fashion plate titled Les Modes Parisiennes, depicting Parisian women in mid-19th-century dress.

The softly iridescent inlay catches the light beautifully, while the warm brass tones and classical ornamentation give the piece a refined, romantic presence. Frames of this style were traditionally used to display fashion plates, portraits, and engravings, making this pairing both visually and historically harmonious.

A timeless decorative object, equally suited for a gallery wall, vanity vignette, or layered shelf styling.
