Antique French Brass Frame with Portrait (Distressed)
19th-century French gilt-bronze bow-top miniature portrait frame, almost certainly mid-1800s (ca. 1830–1870).
paper lithograph or stipple-engraved print, hand-colored with watercolor.
very likely depicts a “type” rather than a specific known sitter — likely “La Jolie Parisienne” or a fashionable Romantic-era hairstyle portrait printed from an atelier sheet.
Cast and chased gilt or ormolu bronze
Ribbon & laurel wreath motif
The little two-wire easel leg is absolutely correct for mid-19th c. French table miniatures.
Backing is wood covered with black leatherette / paper.
