Collector's Notes

Double tabletop frames were made to keep two connected photographs together, often wedding portraits, family pictures, or photographs of children.

This one suits a buyer looking for an older frame that is decorative but still easy to use in a modern room.

The original ribbed inserts give it a finished look until the next photographs are added.

It is ready to return to the job it was made for, keeping two favorite faces side by side.

This hinged gold tone double frame holds two 5x7 portraits behind glass fronts, and it suits a family photo table or a vanity. 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.
