Charming set of three old velvet frames , two blue and one brown.
The tallest , in shape of easel ,is very uncommon.
It is made of blue plush velvet with embossed metal inlays with plant decoration.
The crown-shaped top tilts back to allow the glass to be removed ,very elegant with its gold border.
The bottom of the frame is in blue satin , marked High Life , which makes me think that this frame is of English or American origin , but I have not found anything on this brand.
There are some missing parts on the paper that covers the back of the frame , the velvet is also a little worn in places , and a piece of metal decoration is missing at the top.
Dimension : 10,6’’ high (27cm)
5,1’’ maximum width (13cm)
6,7’’ x 4,3’’ glass size (17cm x 11cm)

The second is also an easel frame , in light brown plush velvet , charming by its small size.
The back is covered with brown oiled paper , it closes with two small metal staples and a small ring also allows it to be hung.
It is in good condition .
Dimension : 4,3’’ x 3’’ (11cm x 7,5cm)
the glass is 2,7’’ x 1,4’’ (7cm x 3,5cm)

The third frame , with an oval view ,is made of blue velvet with a gold brass border .
A pretty ring fixed on the top allows it to be hung. The glass is held by small movable golden brass staples.
The velvet is a little worn in places ,there is an accident on the glass at the bottom near the edges, two small fixing nails are missing on the brass border , and the paper on the back is a little damaged.
Apart from these small defects everything is fine , and it is a very pretty little old frame perfect for a portrait .
Dimension : 5,1’’ x 3,5’’ (13cm x 9cm)
3,1’’ x 2,1’’ in sight (8cm x 5,5cm)
