Jardin d'Ulysse was born in the early 1990s and soon accompanied a new way of decorating interiors. Light wood, aged patinas, country houses, and objects inspired by a familiar past then returned to the forefront. The decor aimed to be warm, romantic, far from the overly strict interiors of previous decades. This frame fully belongs to that period. Carved from wood and covered with a light patina with golden nuances, it is built around a large heart bordered by small sculpted beads. The finishing work reveals the wood's texture beneath the patina and gives it that deliberately aged appearance that characterized the brand's first collections. The heart is reserved for a photograph. A portrait, a family photograph, or a memento finds an almost intimate place here, like those images one used to keep on a chest of drawers or a bedside table rather than in a phone's memory. The back retains its Jardin d'Ulysse label and original easel stand. The frame can also be hung thanks to its hanging hook. A charming decorative piece, representative of the "country chic" style that marked the end of the 20th century and would achieve immense success in the early 2000s. Dimensions approximately 18 x 19 cm, thickness approximately 2.5 cm. Beautiful patina with some signs of age visible in the photographs, late 1990s.
