This exquisite antique cast iron easel frame features a stunningly detailed Art Nouveau design, highlighted by two enchanting cherubs (putti) nestled among swirling acanthus leaves and floral scrolls. The frame is finished in a rich, antique gold gilt that beautifully accentuates the depth of the casting, giving it a warm, regal presence. Its openwork border and ornate crest create an airy yet substantial feel, perfect for adding a touch of romance to a vanity, mantel, or bedside table. The frame retains its original hinged easel stand, which is both decorative and functional, allowing for stable display. The back is stamped with the mold number, a mark of its turn-of-the-century craftsmanship. Currently fitted with a striped fabric insert, it is ready to showcase your favorite photograph or small mirror. Circa 1895 – 1915 (Art Nouveau / Late Victorian Era).
