Wellesley Manor Ivy Motif Picture Frame

This is a decorative 4x6 inch picture frame produced by Wellesley Manor, featuring an intricate openwork design of trailing ivy leaves and vines. The frame is constructed from a non-precious metal alloy, likely pewter or a silver-plated base metal, exhibiting a matte, antiqued silver-tone finish with darkening in the recessed areas to accentuate the sculptural details. The design consists of an inner rectangular beaded border that holds the glass and image, surrounded by a wide, asymmetrical filigree border of cast ivy foliage. The ivy leaves show realistic veining and varied orientations, creating a dynamic organic aesthetic associated with Art Nouveau or Victorian revival styles. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible signs of metal fatigue, oxidation, or missing decorative elements. The matte finish suggests a contemporary manufacturing date, likely late 20th or early 21st century. The brand name 'Wellesley Manor' is visible on the paper insert, confirming its origin as a quality retail home decor item. The craftsmanship is evident in the clean casting and the absence of rough seams in the openwork segments. This piece serves as a classic decorative accessory designed for mantel or tabletop display.
