Framed portrait of a 19th-century woman, reprinted on canvas in a vintage-style frame. Perfect for romantic gallery walls and antique feminine interiors.
The Bride by Gari Melchers (c.1907). Why do I get the feeling there weren’t any bridesmaids doing a TikTok in matching robes while someone screamed about a mimosa bar at this wedding? Something tells me this bride did not do a choreographed dance entrance to the banquet hall. Instead, she’s projecting the supernatural air of a religious icon, looking like she’s either about to get married or accidentally become a saint. I can't help but wonder how it all turned out for her. That mystery is part of the appeal.
This small oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrocal plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).
Sized in our Small format, this piece makes a quiet statement on a shelf, gallery wall, or anywhere that needs a little mood and a lot of character. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
