$165.00
Vintage Heavy Metal Framed 'The Infact Samuel by Sir Joshua Reynold in Bubble Glass. Measures 21.5" by 15.5" in the frame. Frame opening is about 15.5" by 11.25". The print appears to be in good condition. I did not open it to inspect. There may be slight scratches. The metal frame is in very good, solid condition.
Capture a moment of quiet devotion with this mid-century reproduction of Sir Joshua Reynolds' 1776 masterpiece, The Infant Samuel. This particular edition is housed in a magnificent, heavy cast-metal frame that exemplifies the ornate Hollywood Regency and Italian-made decor styles of the 1950s. The frame is distinguished by a prominent shell flourish at the crown and deep, scrolled filigree that gives the piece a significant tactile presence.
The print is encased behind vintage convex "bubble" glass, a feature that adds depth and a nostalgic shimmer to the image while protecting the lithograph beneath. This classic portrayal of Samuel's biblical calling was a staple of traditional and mid-century homes, often chosen for its serene, reverent atmosphere. The interplay of the rich gold-toned metal against the soft, glowing highlights of the print makes it a versatile piece for Dark Academia or Grandmillennial styling. Its substantial weight and solid construction reflect a period of manufacturing where even decorative wall hangings were built with lasting quality. This piece remains a timeless example of religious iconography, ready to bring a sense of historical charm and peacefulness to a curated gallery wall or a quiet reading nook.
This item is vintage, over 70 years old.
