Pair of Brass Oval Framed Floral Prints in Convex Glass made in Italy.

Bubble frames, also known as convex glass frames, became highly popular during the Victorian era and remained fashionable through the mid-20th century. The distinctive curved convex glass creates a three-dimensional bubble effect that adds depth and visual interest while protecting the artwork beneath. Italian craftsmen were particularly renowned for producing these decorative frames with intricate filigree metalwork, often featuring baroque-style scrollwork and ornamental details. These frames were commonly used to display botanical prints, family photographs, or religious imagery in Victorian and mid-century homes. Vintage bubble frames appeal to collectors of Victorian-era decor, antique enthusiasts, and interior designers seeking authentic period pieces. Italian-made examples are especially valued for their superior brass craftsmanship, detailed filigree work, and the quality of their hand-formed convex glass, which creates the characteristic bubble effect that gives these frames their distinctive appearance and enduring charm.
