Tiffany Studios New York Double Picture Frame
Regular price
$17,500
This Tiffany Studios New York double portrait frame is richly adorned with hand-enameled Tudor roses entwined along a rinceau—a scrolling foliate motif derived from the Old French term for “branch.” The roses, rendered in soft shades of red, pink, and white, are interspersed with delicate green leaves that wind gracefully across the gilt bronze frame, demonstrating the studio’s mastery of both metalwork and enamel. At the crest, a jardinière overflowing with stylized blooms adds a sculptural flourish, enhancing the frame’s sense of symmetry and naturalistic elegance. The overall effect evokes the luxuriant, romantic aesthetic that characterized Tiffany’s decorative arts at the turn of the twentieth century.

It is important to remember when considering the incredible care that Louis Comfort Tiffany employed when creating the composition and technical aspect of this picture frame was the excitement around early photography that was culminating at the time. Though still expensive and reserved largely for the elite, the advent of the Kodak "Brownie," in 1900, made higher quality photography more accessible then ever before, and ignited a craze for having photographs in the home.
