THE FRAME IS VERY VERSATILE AND WOULD SUIT A WATERCOLOUR, PRINT, SAMPLER OR OLD/MODERN PHOTOGRAPH.
THE CONDITION IS GOOD WITH JUST ONE SMALL 0.5" OLD SLIVERED LOSS TO THE OAK VENEER ON THE LEFT HAND OUTER EDGE ABOUT HALFWAY DOWN. THERE ARE ONLY THE MOST MINOR DINTS AND MARKS MOSTLY VISIBLE WHEN TURNED TO THE LIGHT COMMENSURATE WITH AGE. ALL 4 CORNERS ARE TIGHT AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF WOODWORM.
