OLD LARGE GILT GESSO & MAHOGANY EFFECT WOODEN PICTURE FRAME

A  large, rather unusual late Victorian

wooden gilt picture frame.

It has an outer wavy gilt border with a deep

inset 'mahogany' effect wooden border and a classic gilt slip

The overall condition is good,

with small areas of missing and cracked gesso around the border

all adding to it's aged character.

Some areas have been re touched and coloured

for a more uniform appearance.

 Please refer to pictures for more detail.

This  frame is not glazed but is still fragile.

It has old picture wire attached for hanging portrait format.

We believe this frame dates from around

the late 19th century, however we are not experts,

so please take a look for yourself.
