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.

If you collect Empress frames, this bundle pairs an Empress triple folding frame that still has its label with a single gold tone tabletop frame. 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.
