Collector's Notes
Small folding frames were made to keep several family photographs together in one compact tabletop display.
This bundle suits someone building a vintage gallery shelf or looking for small frames for older wallet-size photographs.
The triple frame still has its original Empress label and holds three separate portraits.
These are useful little frames with enough gold to wake up a quiet shelf.
