This gold tone metal double picture frame holds two 5 x 7 photographs in a hinged, free-standing tabletop design. Each side has clear glass, an ornate embossed border, and a warm gold finish, while the back panels are covered in deep red fabric.
The center hinges let the two frames fold together for storage or open at an angle for display. The narrow decorative border has a repeating raised pattern with small floral corner details.
It has the formal look commonly associated with mid century and Hollywood Regency interiors without taking up much room on a dresser, desk, shelf, or side table.
