E & JB Empire Art Jeweled Photo Frame

This exquisite antique picture frame, crafted by E. & J.B., dates to the 1920s and epitomizes the opulent design trends of the era. The frame is adorned with large, colorful glass stones that have been meticulously set in gold bezels, resting atop an intricate bed of filigree. Each glass stone is vibrant and boasts a high sparkle, enhancing the luxurious appeal of the frame.

A notable feature is the ornate top centerpiece, which features two elegantly rendered birds flanking a central, larger glass stone. The intricate detailing of the birds and the surrounding filigree work emphasizes the craftsmanship typical of the period.

Adding to its charm, the frame houses a layer of delicate pink moiré silk under the glass, which further elevates its refined appearance.

The maker's mark is clearly present on the lower back corner of the frame, attesting to its authenticity and provenance.
