This beautiful frame was water gilt with 22 karat gold leaf, circa 1860-1880 (American Victorian, possibly English)As was traditionally done, the outside edges of the frame were not gilt. The original wood patina is showing on the edge. The scroll design in the very deep recessed curve is burnished with the background matt gold. There is some minor wear around the front edge of the frame, appropriate to its age, and one small chip on the right side of the frame where the gesso is showing. The picture of the dog, dressed in formal dinner attire is a magazine cutout with a textured acrylic finish on it (certainly NOT original to the frame!). This picture is quirky and amusing, but could be easily replaced with a photo of your choice or a small format oil painting. The wooden back is old, but not original, also the glass is a replacement, not recent. The frame opening is 6' wide x 9' high. Location: Memphis, TN
