Vintage USSR / Soviet Folding Tabletop Photo Frames – Set of 2 – Original Portraits
A fascinating pair of vintage folding tabletop photo frames, each containing an original period black-and-white portrait photograph.
The frames feature a distinctive burgundy-red textured exterior with circular glazed portrait windows and folding rear supports. Their compact book-style construction gives them a wonderful early vintage character and makes them especially appealing as display pieces.
One photograph depicts a young man wearing a distinctive military-style winter head covering with a star emblem, while the second shows a civilian male portrait.
The original photographs can be removed from the rear, as shown in the pictures.
These pieces would make an interesting addition to a collection of Soviet-era photography, vintage portrait frames, Eastern European memorabilia, antique photographic accessories, or historic interior décor.
