This evocative antique portrait is preserved behind its original convex (bubble) glass, a highly desirable feature that adds depth, protection, and historical value. The photograph appears to depict a World War II–era serviceman in uniform, rendered in warm sepia tones that speak to both personal history and mid-20th-century photographic artistry.
The portrait is housed in a richly ornamented gilt wood frame, featuring deep floral and scrollwork relief with a beautifully aged gold finish. Convex glass was traditionally used in higher-quality frames, offering both visual dimension and superior preservation — a detail sought after by collectors and decorators alike. Measuring approximately 13.5 x 19.5 inches, this piece commands attention whether displayed alone or as part of a curated gallery wall.
The original backing remains intact, complete with period handwriting on the reverse, reinforcing its authenticity and untouched vintage character. A striking blend of history, craftsmanship, and decorative appeal.
