This is a rare example of a double picture frame made with fabric, possibly silk with embroided flowers and old gold trimmings around.

 

However some people say it is actually a book protection cover for a very small book that would go inside the insert (?)

 

In any case it is a really nice piece of very old workmanship

 

The fabric material has been a bit degraded, there is fraying, see pictures

 

It is possible to insert a picture in each frame, as the frame lifts a bit on the internal side

 

Please have a look at my other listings as I have a lot of attic finds, most coming from clearing out an attic in Normandy.

Any question? Please ask!
