VTG Madonna della Sedia Raphael Miniature Gilt Brass Ivory Tone Picture Frame

Beautiful vintage miniature devotional picture depicting Raphael’s Madonna della Sedia (Madonna of the Chair), showing the Madonna and Christ Child with the young St. John the Baptist.  The round miniature is protected beneath a domed clear cover and surrounded by an ornate gilt/brass-tone bezel. The rectangular frame features individually fitted ivory-tone wedge-shaped panels arranged in a striking sunburst pattern, bordered by an embossed gilt-metal frame.  The reverse has a fabric-covered backing with both an easel stand for tabletop display and a folding ring for hanging.  Details: • Raphael Madonna della Sedia / Madonna of the Chair image • Ivory-tone segmented sunburst surround • Ornate gilt/brass-tone metal frame • Domed clear cover over miniature • Easel-back tabletop display • Folding hanging ring • Unmarked; exact maker and country of origin unknown • Believed to be early-to-mid 20th century  Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate wear. The gilt metal shows minor patina/wear, and the backing shows expected age and handling. Please review all photographs closely, as they are part of the description.  The ivory-colored panels appear to be a natural or early manufactured material, but the material has not been professionally tested or authenticated and is therefore not represented as ivory.
