This WW1 Canadian CEF Oval Picture Frame with Curved Glass is an original period item dating from the First World War. The frame is constructed with an oval-shaped wooden border and features a curved glass front, a common style for military photographic displays of the early 20th century.

The curved glass enhances the visibility and preservation of photographs, while the back is fitted for wall mounting or display. The frame often features period-appropriate finishes and may show signs of age consistent with its history. Such frames are significant artifacts reflecting personal and familial commemoration of service members from Canada’s military history. This item offers insight into early 20th-century memorial practices and the material culture of World War One.
