Dating & Historical Context
- Dating: This collection carries a clear, legally verified manufacturer copyright mark dating the production exactly to 1998. The specific deep forest green and rich stained mahogany tones represent the definitive colour trends that dominated commercial British office suites and domestic gallery walls at the tail end of the twentieth century.
- Historical Note: Distributed by the long-standing UK stationery and photographic gift firm Anker International Plc, these frames showcase the transition period of late-90s interior aesthetics. Before the mass shift toward synthetic composites and lightweight plastics in high-street decor, retail collections still relied heavily on chunky, substantial wooden mouldings with glass fronts. Featuring a unique decorative recessed border along the face edges, this matching colorway set serves as a beautiful time capsule for retro styling, adding clean symmetry and true heritage weight to any modern collection or gallery project.
Description
A substantial and incredibly well-preserved decorative lot, this wholesale bundle comprises four matching solid wood photo frames in classic 1990s deep hues. The group is perfectly balanced with two matching pairs, each utilizing a deep profile moulding that allows the distinct timber grain to show through under the polished lacquer finish.
Expert Identification & Design Features:
- Period Production Set: An ideal choice for specialized TV, film, or theatre prop departments seeking verified late-1990s or turn-of-the-century background dressing items. The uniform branding, genuine glass fronts, and distinct colour palettes provide effortless historical accuracy for period-accurate domestic, office, or courtroom sets.
- Unique Border Detailing: The face of each frame features a series of precisely drilled, recessed geometric circular indents running symmetrically along the structural borders, catching ambient room lighting to add unique texture to your displays.
- Dual Orientation Display: The heavy-duty hardboard backs are completely fitted with multi-directional folding easel stands and fixed metal hanging hardware, allowing you to display your artwork either vertically or horizontally on walls or mantles.
- Substantial Mass: Built with premium components and real glass sheets rather than lightweight modern acrylic, this bundle has a very satisfying, premium trade weight of 3.1kg, confirming its robust structural quality.
Condition Report
This four-piece frame joblot is in good vintage condition. As a pre-owned collection, the wooden structures remain completely rock-solid with tight, flush-fitting corner mitre joins and absolutely no loose joins. The lacquered surfaces display minor surface abrasions and small age-appropriate storage rubs on the outer edges, which blend naturally into the wood grain and do not detract from display. The glass facing sheets are clean and fully intact, free from deep structural cracks or heavy scratches. The rear backings remain fully complete and functional. For absolute accuracy, please note that two of the frames retain their original illustrated 1998 retail insert paper leaflets, while the other two frames are supplied without inserts, ready for your own photographs.
