Vintage Art Deco Reverse Painted Glass Frame with 1942 Perkins Colored Portrait – Family Estate Find Add an authentic piece of Art Deco elegance to your collection with this beautiful reverse-painted black glass picture frame, complete with its original hand-colored photographic portrait of a handsome young gentleman wearing a finely tailored suit. The portrait is signed "Perkins '42," dating it to 1942, capturing a wonderful moment from the World War II era. This striking frame came from a multi-generational family estate in rural Illinois, where it had remained for decades alongside several other period pieces. We will also be listing another matching Art Deco frame from the same estate, as well as a black ebonized Eastlake picture frame, making this an exciting opportunity for collectors looking to assemble a coordinated display. The frame itself is a wonderful example of late Art Deco styling, featuring: Reverse-painted black glass construction Bright silver geometric striping Classic stepped corner motifs High-gloss finish that beautifully reflects light Easel back for tabletop display Original metal retaining clips intact Original hanging strap still present Original backboard included The included portrait is especially appealing, depicting a sharply dressed young gentleman in a pinstripe suit and tie with subtle hand coloring that brings warmth and life to the image. Whether displayed as found or used with your own favorite photograph, this frame has tremendous decorative appeal. Its timeless styling fits beautifully with: Art Deco interiors Machine Age décor Hollywood Regency Vintage office décor Library displays Mid-century collections Antique photograph collections Black and silver decorating themes Gallery walls Vintage photography displays Condition Overall, this frame presents beautifully. As shown in the photographs, there is minor edge and corner wear, primarily small areas of paint loss typical of an authentic vintage reverse-painted glass frame. The overall appearance remains exceptionally attractive, and the black glass retains an outstanding glossy finish. Because of that mirror-like shine, photographing the frame was quite difficult. The reflections seen in several photos come from our photography light box and are not flaws in the glass. In person, the glossy black finish and silver Art Deco accents are even more impressive. The easel stand is sturdy, the original hanging strap remains attached, and all original metal retaining clips are intact and functioning. The back has not been cleaned, allowing the next owner to preserve or carefully clean it according to their own collecting preferences. Please review all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description. Approximate measurements are shown in the photographs.
