This decorative Art Nouveau distressed silver picture frame features a flat inner lip followed immediately by a decorative ornate silver protrusion that offers dots and swirls in a relief pattern. The remainder of the profile is a flat shape with black scratching on a silver finish to signify the look of age. This profile is 2-1/2” wide, and features a 5/8” rabbet depth.
An excellent utilization of this decorative distressed Art Nouveau silver picture frame would be in the framing of a beveled mirror; however, stretched canvas paintings that are 3/4” deep and giclée prints on canvas would do well in this profile, along with matted works on paper such as etchings, other fine art prints, pen & ink drawings, watercolor paintings, and gouache or acrylic paintings on paper.
Imagery and subject matter that might do well in this silver picture frame may include figurative works, along with repetitive patterns featuring organic swirls and flair. Vintage photography of the early 20th century may also pair with this frame, as would architectural illustrations of that era.
