Step back into the elegance of the early 20th century with this magnificent original c.1910 Edwardian crayon portrait. Beautifully preserved inside its rare, original arched bubble glass frame, this striking piece offers an authentic, museum-quality glimpse into turn-of-the-century portrait art.
The primary focal point of this antique is its extraordinary arched-top wood and gesso frame. The outer border boasts an elegant, deeply molded basket-weave or lattice texture, accented by detailed floral scrollwork along the corners and a prominent decorative crest at the crown. Crucially, the frame retains its original curved convex "bubble" glass, a highly fragile, period-correct feature that adds immediate historical value and beautiful reflective dimension on a wall.
