Up for sale is an incredibly scarce, highly sought-after matching graduated pair of authentic Arts & Crafts period Roycroft desktop perpetual calendar/photograph frames.
While the Roycroft community is widely recognized for its rustic, hand-hammered copper wares, this spectacular pair showcases their rare "Old Brass" smooth line. Crafted during the height of the Arts & Crafts movement, this clean-lined, architectural design was produced by the Roycroft metalsmiths to complement formal Mission-style library desks and executive workspaces. Instead of utilizing an artisan-hammered texture, these frames rely on heavy-gauge solid brass, crisp geometric borders, and the sheer weight of the metal to make a profound artistic statement.
Both pieces feature the classic top-and-side card-channel slot entry design, allowing them to function seamlessly as desktop perpetual calendars or as minimalist accent frames to display period photographs, woodblock prints, or vintage postcards.
The Roycroft Maker's Mark: The smaller frame features a beautifully crisp, deep factory hallmark stamped directly into the reverse base plate: the iconic Roycroft Orb and Cross emblem with the word "ROYCROFT" stamped boldly underneath.
Dimensions: A true graduated, multi-size Arts & Crafts desk set:
Large Frame: Outer dimensions measure approximately 9.5 x 7.5 inches. (An exceptionally rare, massive format; scaled perfectly to display substantial portrait photos or period artwork without custom trimming).
Small Frame: Outer dimensions measure approximately 6.5 x 4.5 inches. (The classic desktop size, ideal for standard antique cabinet cards, postcards, or calendar slips)
