Rare Art Nouveau Military Desk Frame *french Dore Bronze Signed

French Art Nouveau Dore Bronze War or Military Motif Figural frame.  Probably WWI.  Beautiful luminous dore surface, beveled glass.  Signed C. Vallain lower LH corner of frame.  Classic Art Nouveau Asymetry.  The Military Motif makes this quite unique.

**Classically garbed and draped female figure holding what appears to be laurel leaves.   The top part of the frame shows a battle scene with the sun at top left, a battle ship, a blimp and a canon with explosion above. 

**The sides of the frame towards the bottom have crossed laurel fronds (there are tiny holes at the top so this area must have held something like a plaque).  The bottom features crossed rifles with plaque...slightly off to the side but centered under the asymmetrically placed spot for picture.

**Easel or strut style frame.   

C O N D I T I O N:  Excellent antique condition.
