Antique Art Deco / Nouveau brass mirror / picture frame.
This is a beautiful Art Nouveau style picture frame, or mirror frame. It is marked on the rear Beatrice P. I am not sure what it is made of, though it may be brass. It has an aged brass finish on the front. Maybe could do with a good clean / polish. I did some research into Beatrice and found out that it was a trademark owned by John Harper & Co. Ltd., Walsall Road Works, Willenhall, UK. This pattern was originally produced probably between and , and this is most likely a later version, showing number P. What exact date this was made I have not been able to confirm from the code number. Fantastic condition with the lovely aged brass, and a beautiful style. There is a small leg at the rear of the frame, acting on a hinge, to stand the frame. There is some slight wear, and discolouration, through age. Measures: 30 cm high x 24 cm wide. Weight about 950 gr. It will take a mirror or glass of approximately 6 inches x 4 inches. (not included). The pictures form part of the description, so please satisfy yourself as to condition, etc. I have bought many items in the street markets of the Lot, South West France, where I had a home until recently. Similar frames can be seen for sale if you Google āBeatrice frame Pā and look at images section. They are very beautiful, and collectable. You can see what a bargain this is! I can post at cost.
