Art Deco Freestanding Bakelite Picture Holder

This is an Art Deco Freestanding Bakelite Picture Holder, and its in great condition.  It dates to the 1930s and comfortable fits a 6 x 8 inch photograph (width x height).

The picture is held with a piece of glass at the front and backed with a thin sheet of bakelite (red-brown in colour). This ensemble then slides into the free standing bakelite frame.

Approximate Size:

• Height (including glass): 23cm (~9")
• Base Depth: 10.2cm (~4")
• Base Width: 22cm
• Maximum Glass Width: 16.7cm
• Maximum Glass height: 21.5 cm

Original Glass is out of shape with jagged edges and probably needs new glass. The bakelite frame is a brown in colour and has a few surface blemishes and scratches.

The photograph inside is a 1930s Sherman Pool's image of the actress, Joan Crawford which has been used for illustrative purposes only and is not included in the sale.
