Antique American pair of frames with folk art painted grain simulating flame maple, mid-19th C. Paint on both frames is all original with no re-touching. Ochre paint background with brown swirls, gilt lip. Lip gilding was applied over gesso which has dried out and cracked away in several areas -- needs some restoration of lips only. Back of each frame bears handwritten signature of the artist who painted them in rural upstate New York. Pine molding has the inward-slanting flat form used in the mid 1800's at the same time as the more common ogee. Bare pine backs show rich antique patina. Outside 14.5 x 18.5, lip opening 10 x 14, one inch front to back, molding 2.5 width. Fabulous American folk art!
