This rare and highly unusual frame was originally meant to display “his and hers” pictures of a couple, conjoined with a little bud holder where the frames meet. While double portrait frames are not uncommon, the addition of the glass vase vial or "pipette" is incredibly rare—especially in such good condition. Many have plastic replacements, but this piece features the original glass vial, beautifully crafted with delicate details. 

The frame is crafted from gilt ormolu, with classic Napoleon III details such as the floral cornice pediments and the absolutely incredible floral details on the vase bracket. 

And of course, the stunning and heavy beveled glass panels that give this piece its iconic look. 

It can be displayed on a tabletop with an easel back, or hung on a wall by the hook on the reverse. 

An absolutely incredible heirloom piece, ready to cherish for years to come. 

Please note: while remarkably preserved, this piece does show signs of slight wear to the gilding, and has one small chip to the upper left corner of the left side glass panel.

Shipping Questions

Shipping Worldwide

Orders are processed within 3 to 7 business days, excluding weekends and holidays. You'll receive a notification with a tracking number once your order ships — please allow 48 hours for tracking to become active.

We ship French antiques and vintage European décor internationally, using Canada Post, FedEx, UPS, USPS, DHL, Canpar, and other local providers depending on the destination and the piece.

Where we can safely combine multiple purchases into one box, we will. Whether that's possible depends on the size and weight of each piece.

Local Pickup & Delivery

Pickup is free from our Pickering, Ontario shop at 1019 Toy Ave., Unit 5. Select local pickup at checkout and we'll be in touch to arrange a time.

We also offer local delivery. For small items, choose local delivery at checkout and the cost will be shown. For larger pieces marked local pickup preferred, email us for a quote.

We can hold an order for a maximum of 30 days. After that it is deemed abandoned and no refund is issued.

Need Longer Than 30 Days?

Contact us within 30 days of purchase to request an extension. If approved, storage is $100 CAD per 30 days, invoiced by email and payable within 5 business days. Unpaid invoices mean the order is deemed abandoned, and no refund is issued.

Oversized & Fragile Pieces

Items too large, heavy, or bulky for a standard carrier are marked local pickup preferred in the listing. Please email jolietteshipping@gmail.com with the item and your full address for a quote before you purchase.

All items are final sale, including any bought before a shipping quote was requested. We would far rather answer your questions first.

Duties, Taxes & Import Fees

International buyers are responsible for any duties, taxes, and import fees. US customers should expect tariffs collected on delivery. These are charged by the destination government, not by Joliette — we do not set them, receive them, or have any way to estimate them in advance.

Packages left unclaimed because duties were not paid cannot be refunded.

If Something Arrives Damaged

Email jolietteshipping@gmail.com within 30 days of delivery with photographs of the damage. We will work with you to make it right.

Unfortunately we are unable to help with damage reported more than 30 days after delivery.

They have such great products I could not stay away. I don't live near their store so I did not expect to be able to purchase furniture online at a decent shipping rate. I was so happy to see that the shipping rate was amazing and the customer service even better. I highly recommend them and will most likely purchase from them again!
