1900s VICTORIAN Gold GILDED Carved OAK Picture Frame w/IDENTICAL TWINS Photo !!!
Here is a very large antique Victorian gilded double row picture frame with the original looking colored picture in it of a pair of identical twin babies, very well done from the late 1800s.
The oak frame measures 26-1/4 inches wide, 30-1/4 inches tall, 1-1/2 inches in total thickness with gilding.
The actual opening in the back and image measures 16 inches wide, 20 inches tall.
I think the frame is actually quarter sawn oak hardwood, has a very nice grain pattern.
This old frame is absolutely beautiful, I've never seen a delicate gilded frame in quite this nice of condition, no missing gesso molding, gold leaf is still very strong, some darker areas in the corners, overall has a nice original patina, too - check it out !!!
Image looks like it been in the frame forever, I haven't tried to remove it, some flaking in places like I've seen in older pastel prints but just not sure of composition or if its a photograph or print, hard to tell behind the glass, but, definitely period to the frame.
This will be carefully packed and shipped with plenty of proper wrap.
Please see all photos provided.
Thanks for looking.
