Early 20th Century Triple Portrait Triptych Frame

This is an antique triptych-style photograph frame, likely dating from the 1920s, constructed of dark-stained wood with gilt decorative accents. The frame features a central raised pediment topped with a floral or acanthus-style gilt finial and two smaller corner ornaments. The base is wide and tiered with a slight curved projection. It contains three separate black-and-white (silver gelatin) studio portraits of a woman; the central image shows her in a cloche hat and fur-trimmed coat, while the side images show her in a lace-collared dress. The right-most glass panel displays a significant diagonal crack. There is visible wear along the bottom edge showing the lighter wood beneath the dark finish, and minor chips are present on the corners. The right-side portrait has a studio mark in the bottom corner which appears to read 'Walinger, Chicago', indicating a professional production by a known American photographic studio of that era. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality department store or photography studio displays from the early 20th century.
