* old portrait torn in areas Convex glass portrait frames became immensely popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, often used to house cherished family photographs in middle-class homes. The distinctive bubble glass technique was achieved by heating flat glass discs and blowing them into concave molds to create a three-dimensional curved surface.
