The Bucklers, Inc. Silver Plated Art Nouveau Style Tulip Picture Frame

This is a rectangular photo frame featuring an asymmetrical Art Nouveau-inspired design. The frame is constructed from silver-plated metal, displaying a prominent embossed floral motif of a tulip with flowing leaves on the lower right-hand corner. The border of the frame consists of rounded, stacked linear moldings that create a stepped effect, characteristic of revivalist styles. A small white label is visible in the bottom right corner of the glass, bearing the text 'The Bucklers, Inc., Silver Plated, New York, NY', confirming the manufacturer and material. Inside is a black and white reproduction photograph of a Victorian-era family group. The silver plating shows a significant amount of dark grey to black tarnish and patina, particularly within the recessed areas of the floral design and the molded edges, which is typical for older silver-plated items. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high-quality decorative piece from the late 20th century, specifically designed to emulate earlier European floral aesthetics. The condition appears stable with no visible cracks in the glass, though the metal surface shows minor surface scratches and localized oxidation consistent with age and display.
