Gold Tone Metal Double Picture Frame 5x7 Mid Century Hinged Tabletop Frame

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.

Collector's Notes

Gold tone folding frames like this were a practical way to display paired portraits while adding a little ornament to a dresser or tabletop.

The embossed border and warm metallic finish fit comfortably with the decorative side of mid century design and the more formal Hollywood Regency look.

This gold tone double frame holds two 5 x 7 photos behind clear glass on hinges that still move easily, and it suits a dresser, desk, or Hollywood Regency style shelf. If it's the one you've been looking for, it's ready to come home.

Questions buyers ask

Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.

Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.

I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.

I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
