51204-Antique French Rococo Style Bow and Ribbon Miniature Portrait Frame Pendan

51204-Antique French Rococo Style Bow and Ribbon Miniature Portrait Frame Pendant A romantic and elegant piece of historical artistry, this French miniature portrait frame features an exquisite metal bow and ribbon motif top piece, suspending a delicate oval-shaped ornate frame via dual vintage link chains. Enclosed within the frame is a hand-drawn style classical side-profile portrait of a lady, exuding the refined and gentle grace of 19th-century European high society. The most intriguing feature is the beautiful material contrast and dual-sided craftsmanship. The front of the oval frame is adorned with intricate Rococo leaf patterns and openwork scrollwork, possessing a rich, aged gold patina. Remarkably, the reverse side is inset with a plush, deep burgundy red velvet backing, which served both as an expression of understated courtly luxury and **a functional design for custom display. By gently bending back each of the serrated metal clasps surrounding the velvet backing, the frame can be easily opened, allowing you to replace the portrait with your own cherished photograph or miniature artwork. Purchased in France, this piece is crafted with exceptional stability and fine artisanal quality, featuring vivid engravings and well-preserved functional metal clasps holding the velvet back. Today, it serves as a distinguished addition to any vanity, a unique wall accent, or a prized collectible for antique jewelry and portrait enthusiasts. *Content：1 Piece. *Size：Total length (including chain) 15 cm, Frame length 8 cm, Frame width 7.5 cm. *Weight：37g. *Material：Metal, Paper (Portrait), Velvet. *Origin：France. *Year：Circa late 19th to early 20th century. *Hallmarks / Markings：None. ⚠️ Condition：A vintage collectible in original condition.
