Victorian Cast Wedding Frame

By bates1800, 13 August, 2014
Description

I really don't know much about this other than it is really old. I'm guessing around 1870's. I think it is cast brass or bronze. One glass is missing. Original brass screws all there. Pretty patina. Wonderful shape. Found it in Arkansas. Really like to have a history and age and value. No markings.

Re: Victorian Cast Wedding Frame

What a beautiful frame, especially complete with the photos and all. Circa 1880-1890 for sure. Made of bronze, as far as I can tell. Bronze is darker and more matte like that, brass is more gold and shiny. It's probably worth around $80. The photographs are also around the same time period. 

If you have any other questions, ask away. I love sharing my knowledge on Victorian items because they're my favourite antiques.
