Authenticity Guarantee
Every piece is hand-selected, cleaned, and described using over 20 years of vintage experience. When a listing says a piece is vintage, it is vintage. If an item isn't as described, I'll refund you in full, including shipping.
Vintage Condition
Every piece here is pre-loved and often decades old, so expect gentle signs of age and use, like light scratches, softened plating or finish, small marks, or patina. That's part of each piece's history and charm, and nothing will look fresh off a showroom floor.
Anything beyond normal wear, such as chips, cracks, repairs or damage, is always pointed out in the description and shown in the photos. If an item arrives with a flaw I didn't mention, my return policy has you covered.

Antique Framed Violinist Photograph Panel | Five Sepia Portraits | Morrison Photo Chicago | c. 1900-1915 | Original Wood Frame | 26.75" x 10.75"
Five moments of one young violinist, from first bow to full performance. Who do you think he was, and did he ever make it to the big stage?
This is an antique framed panel of five original sepia photographs of a young man with his violin, taken by Morrison Photo of Chicago, whose signature is on the mat. The photos run in order like a little film strip: he stands holding his bow, raises the violin, studies it, and then plays it in the last two. He wears an early 1900s suit with a high collar, and the five portraits are mounted on a gray mat in the original dark wood frame under glass.
- Material: Original photographs on paper mounts, under glass in a wood frame
- Studio: Morrison Photo, Chicago (signed on the mat)
- Era: About 1900 to 1915
- Subject: Young violinist, five poses
- Size: About 26.75" wide x 10.75" tall
- Condition: Old water staining on the mat, which appears stable and long settled. The back panel also shows old water staining and insect damage to the backing paper (back only; the photos are untouched by it). The frame has dings and wear. The hanger is missing, so you'll need to add one. The back has not been opened. Please see photos, as they are part of the description
A wonderful piece for a music room, a violin teacher's studio or anyone who loves old photographs. The age and wear are part of its story.
Styling props shown in photos are not included.
