[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 26084, member: 51"]Thanks so much Anund. Jackolin, I did see one or two antique frames like this online called "Piano key frames". These three frames have been pieced together sort of mosaic style and pretty sure the material is ivory or bone. On my larger one there are a few panels that are wider than a piano key, but for the two smaller ones, it is possible. That would be so interesting if that is how they were made! Appreciate you sharing that. Thanks to the ID of "Baby Stuart" just found one on Ebay in an ivory frame a little more ornate, but similar. I'm starting to think these three might be 19th century... if not, then copies from that period.
