Large Victorian Oval Portrait in Ornate Gesso Frame

This beautiful antique Victorian portrait features a formally dressed gentleman and lady, preserved within an elaborate oval frame. The ornate black frame with  gilt accents lends dramatic presence, making this piece a striking focal point for gallery walls, or moody seasonal styling. The black and white photograph sits behind flat glass.

A compelling piece for collectors of antique photography, victorian decor enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to objects taht carry visible history.

Condition Notes:

The portrait has visible water staining to the inner matboard and minor rippling to the frame’s interior edge — consistent with age and prior moisture exposure. These imperfections do not affect the photograph itself and only enhance the timeworn appeal of this character-filled piece.
