Arts and Crafts Copper Picture Frame with Cattail and Leaf Motif
Unmarked, American, c. early 20th century
7.5" H x 5" W; opening: 3.5" x 2.5"
A richly detailed Arts and Crafts copper frame featuring a hand-hammered surface and a high-relief repoussé design of cattails and overlapping leaves. The oval aperture is framed by naturalistic foliage, embodying the movement’s embrace of organic forms and handcraftsmanship.
Although unmarked, the style and workmanship suggest influence from American Arts and Crafts workshops such as Roycroft or Dirk Van Erp. A rare and evocative example of period metalwork.
