Antique French Napoleon III Era 7" Shadowbox Style Oval Frame, for Medal, Award or Pendant menu holder I love this paintingFabulous antique French Napoleon III or Victorian era 7 1 8" tall shadowbox style picture frame with original domed or 'bombe' glass, gilded wire & ribbon accenting and winged angel or cupid top! With the relatively deep convex glass and teal velvet backing, we're guessing this would have been used to display a medal of some sort, military or otherwise, but could also be used to display a fine antique pendant or even a portrait miniature. really
