This is what our assessment is of this frame: We believe that it was made perhaps in the 1930s or 40s, but in the style of a much older frame....perhaps Dutch. Most of our frames are the age of their style, but this one, although definitely vintage, is not as old as it appears. Hope this explanation is clear!
Our Antique/Vintage Frame Story:
We have been collecting antique and vintage picture frames for over 30 years.
We love being able to use an authentic vintage or antique top frame for a work of art created in the same era.
The care, attention and skill that is evident in the construction of these frames is quite amazing. The patterns are very varied…simple, elegant Arts & Crafts and Art Deco or very elaborate Victorian embossed and carved florals and other patterns. Classic mahogany, sometimes accented by clean black insets or enhanced by gilt fillet inserts, are among the other choices.
As we collected the frames, we "upleveled" them by strengthening corners, cleaning, polishing, etc. We consider them "ready to use".
All are authentic and have been used at some point in their history. Some have what would be called "imperfect" aspects...tiny scratches or dents…but they have been upleveled in one way or another…not to be "fake" new…but maintain the character of their years.
I have tried to photograph so the essence of them is clear…Please let me know if you need to see more images as I often have extras.
These are the real deal!
Please note that we are offering this frame as an antique. We don't supply glass or backing, as custom framing needs differ based on the art.
We pack VERY carefully.
Absolutely no musty or stale odor whatsoever.
Since there are different costs to ship different items depending on weight, etc., we feel the fairest thing to do for everyone is to quote combinations as they are requested.
