Antique Art Nouveau M. Duspar Billiards Photogravure Print Original Tiger Oak Snooker Frame

Chairish

$200

This rare early 20th-century photogravure by Art Nouveau artist M. Duspar depicts a detailed scene of two men engaged in a game of billiards or snooker. The hand-colored print is housed in its exceptional original quarter-sawn tiger oak frame, a hallmark of the Arts and Crafts movement known for its shimmering medullary rays. The frame is a specialized thematic production, featuring integrated decorative elements including miniature wooden billiard balls and brass-colored scoring rods that mirror the subject matter of the artwork. The craftsmanship of the frame elevates the piece from a standard print to a significant work of period memorabilia, showcasing the ornate and functional design ethos of the 1900s. As a rare find for collectors of sporting art or Art Nouveau decor, the combination of the signed Duspar print and the unique "scoring" frame represents a highly curated aesthetic. This large-scale piece remains in excellent vintage condition, preserving the authentic patina of the tiger oak and the vibrant hand-applied colors of the photogravure.
