Listing description

Product description

Framed decorative print presented in a large square gilt frame with a teal double mount and gold inner liner — a strong display piece with character. The glass glazing is present and the original gilded finish on the moulding is the lot’s most striking visible feature, showing heavy surface crazing and flaking that gives the frame an antique-look patina. The paper print shows age-related spotting and a slight curl at the top right under the glass.

This piece will suit collectors of decorative vintage frames, stylists and interior designers seeking a period-look centrepiece, or anyone after a ready-to-hang statement for a living room, hallway or boutique wall. It is ideal either as-is for its worn-gilt charm or as a restoration project for a framer: original frame structure appears sound and the composition is large enough to hold visual impact.
