Brass Victorian Revival Family Photo Frame

As mentioned in the article below, Victorian Revival collectibles can be found in other decades outside the 1930s. Here is a charming example from the 1950s of a brass folding frame for photos.

In the 1950s-60s, beyond jewelry, revival design can be found in many items, such as the Chesterfield sofa, re-introduced at this time. Unusual period clothing, like Victorian military uniforms were sought after and copied. Rock groups popularized the look, and fashion icon Diana Vreeland did the same for military medals and badges. Nineteenth century typography became fresh and interesting. We are now so inundated with retro styling, it's hard to conceive how novel this revival was at the time.

This particular brass Victorian Revival frame is a miniature, folding to 1 1/2" high x 1 1/8" wide x 1/2" deep, and revealing the perfect fifties family inside. This is very dear! (D.H.)
