Beautiful 19th-century French religious icon depicting Saint Joseph. It is displayed in a blue velvet frame with an ornate, metal-embellished inner frame featuring flowers and intricate swirls. This frame measures 4.25" x 6.25" and is in excellent condition with the original glass. The back of the frame features a stand for tabletop display and a hanging loop for wall mounting. The back is also embossed with 'DEPOSE PARIS' on the easel and a small metal piece on the easel hinge. The frame is amazing—another darling piece from the 1800s.
