EXCELLENT CONDITION

BEAUTIFUL FINE QUALITY ANTIQUE LATE C19th VICTORIAN SOLID MAHOGANY PICTURE FRAME DATING TO c.1880-1900. THE FRAME HAS A CARVED REVERSE OGEE PROFILE SURROUND OF SOLID MAHOGANY WHICH HAS RESPONDED VERY WELL TO A BEESWAX POLISH WITH SUPERB RICH REDDISH DEPTH OF COLOUR, PATINATION AND HIGH ANTIQUE SHEEN. THE SIGHT EDGE IS ORNATELY MOULDED IN GILT COMPOSITION WITH THE GILDING HAVING LOVELY LIGHT WEAR AND PATINATION. THE FRAME RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL HANDMADE GLASS (SO MUCH MORE INKEEPING THAN MODERN GLASS), STURDY BRASS HANGING BALE & RING AND THICK PINE BACKBOARD. THE ORIGINAL FRAME MAKER'S LABEL IS STILL ATTACHED TO THE BACKBOARD, ALTHOUGH IT IS PARTLY COVERED BY MODERN TAPE, AND THE NAME READS "E. GRINDLEY & PALMER". THE FRAME IS VERY VERSATILE AND WOULD SUIT A WATERCOLOUR, PRINT, DRAWING, SAMPLER OR OLD/MODERN PHOTOGRAPH.

THE CONDITION IS EXCELLENT WITH NO CHIPS, SCRATCHES OR SCUFFS TO THE MAHOGANY. THE ORNATELY MOULDED COMPOSITION SIGHT EDGE IS ALSO IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO LOSSES AND JUST THE LOVELY LIGHT WEAR & PATINATION DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL 4 CORNERS ARE TIGHT AND THERE IS NO SIGN OF WOODWORM.

THE FRAME MEASURES 16.4" x 13.4" OVERALL, 14.5" x 11.5" FOR THE APERTURE AT THE FRONT AND 15.1" x 12.1" INTO THE REBATE AT THE BACK.

I HAVE OWNED THIS FINE ANTIQUE PICTURE FRAME FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVING HAD A RECENT REARRANGEMENT OF PAINTINGS IT IS NOW GOING SPARE - IT HAS BEEN VERY WELL CARED FOR AND WHOEVER WINS IT WILL BE DELIGHTED! THE ANTIQUE DRAWING THAT I HAVE LISTED SEPARATELY AT THE MOMENT OF A BOY & HIS DOG WAS HOUSED IN IT AND THEY MAKE A LOVELY PAIRING.
