A beautiful pair of circa 1930’s Chinese Export picture frames made of a cabochon / pillow carved jade colored serpentine stone with intricately carved carnelian colored agate medallions of floral and bird motifs. The top of each desk accessory picture frame has a flowing, slightly scalloped shape. Each frame is trimmed in a patterned brass with floral designs in each of the inside corners. Each frame would accept an image or photograph of approximately 7 inches by 9 inches. The backs are finished in a brown velvet type fabric. The serpentine stone frames have a translucent quality allowing some light to pass through, enhancing the intrinsic beauty of the natural stone. Each carved agate medallion, set at the top and in the center of the frames, features a design of historic Asian influence.
