This is a rare and stunning antique French mourning frame with hair art of real human hair

Dates mid to late 1800s

The oval frame is made of gilded wood and has a glass cover surrounded by a brass rim

Total sizes: 9 inches (22.5cm) high and 7.6 inches wide at the widest (19cm)

In a vintage condition, as shown on the pictures, some slight wear to the gilded patina of the wooden frame, some loose hair, a trace of glue on the glass, some dust underneath the glass cover, this does not detract from the beauty of this gorgeous hair frame

The hand made hair art represents a willow tree with leaves, a cross crucifix surrounded by a wreath

All handmade on a frosted glass background

On the back of the wooden frame there is a small ring to hang it on the wall

Just look at all these details and imagine the hours and hours of work on this fabulous piece of art!!

These frames are highly collectible and difficult to find !!

Much prettier in reality than on the pictures, believe me!! It was hard to get the pictures right, because of the lightfall on the glass

Perfect for the collector of relics and hair art
