Small Oval Red Enamel Guilloche Frame
Guilloché enamel frames, often paired with fine metalwork, gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The technique involves engraving a repetitive, intricate pattern onto a metal surface, then covering it with translucent enamel to create a shimmering effect. These frames were often used for portraits, miniatures, or keepsakes.
19th Century: The guilloché technique was perfected in France and Russia, with artisans such as Fabergé elevating it to an art form.
Art Nouveau & Edwardian Eras (1890–1910): Guilloché enamel frames, especially those in pastel colors (pink, blue, green), became popular for their elegance and craftsmanship.
Early 20th Century: Many guilloché frames were produced in Austria, France, and Russia, often set in silver or gilded metal. Some were adorned with jewels, pearls, or intricate filigree metalwork.
