Description

Two antique French photo brooches, portrait brooch heart shape with a baby photo, silver portrait brooch with antique die cut chromo on crochet lace doilies.

DESCRIPTION:
Two very lovely antique French photo or portrait brooches, one of them is in brass and has heart shape, inside the photo of a baby toddler.
The second one is made from silver, inside there is an antique die cut chromo with flowers.
Both of them are attached on round crochet lace doilies, in ecrù color.
These kind of brooches were once used as remembrance or keepsake of someone….
Price is for the two brooches and the crochet doilies.

HOW TO USE THEM:
They are very lovely to collect, I like so much the great variety of different designs of these small frames and I also love antique photos. This year I thought to use them to dress my little Christmas tree, it’s very simple to hang them using a small ribbon or an antique lace piece and they are beautiful mixed with antique Christmas postcards… really a cute idea for an unusual Christmas decoration, perfect for Jean d’Arc Living interiors, Nordic style, French Brocante style….
You can see in my last photos these portrait brooches and other similar ones on my small Christmas tree!

CONDITIONS:
These two brooches are in good antique conditions, of course they are a bit tarnished, but this only increases their charme…
Doilies are in very good conditions and have a lovely antique patina.
MEASURES:
Heart brooch is 15/16″ by 1″; die cut chromo brooch brooch has 1 1/8″ diameter; doilies have 2 1/4″ diameter.
