... these types of frames are always superb quality, often referred to (mainly in the U.S.) as being 'Quarter-Sawn' OR 'Mission' due to the way the oak is cut across the grain resulting in super strong oak pieces that never warp & often with beautiful perfectly matching grain which fit seamlessly in the corner joints ~
The Edwardians, like the Victorians before them, were passionate about using frames such as this to show off a photo of a cherished family member sporting their Sunday best, this frame will also really suit a particular antique gravure or classical litho print as was the fashion, no doubt collected on a glamorous European 'Grand-tour' ~

... dating at a guess to around 1900 this is a fabulous Oak picture frame; a classic Edwardian frame design, with a delightful smooth inner border with raised beadline & a carved outer border with a classic Egg & Dart pattern (a popular classical motif meaning to symbolise life & death OR alternately a spear & a shield) the border frieze is a very agreeable russet brown with a wonderfully tactile patina & a fantastic tight oak grain with lots of interesting detail ~
... entirely constructed by hand you can still see the frame-maker's nails at the corners & this frame also comes with an impressive canted gilt slip with the frame which is entirely original & always a special feature to have ~

Finding the frames is the tricky bit, I wear a lot of tyre tread & shoe leather on my travels & I reject 99% of the frames that I see based on design OR condition, not to mention price ~ Many of the 'high-end' Interiors glossy magazines World of Interiors / Architectural Digest / Elle Decoration et al, have been promoting antique frame ‘feature-walls’ for many years now has been a famous decorator trend ~

** All of our antique frames will have some form of age commensurate wear, most of our frames are not reproductions & so there will be slight imperfections e.g., the odd ding OR light scratch etc, after all, this is the very essence of owning an antique frame ~ Please, always refer to the detailed photos, they are an accurate reflection of the antique condition ~
*** Each frame has been carefully stripped down of its backing & cleaned using professional materials - The back of the frame is then meticulously tidied of any loose impediments, nails, splinters, dust, glass OR any other abrasions ~ Where necessary, the border is then treated with a high-quality bees-wax and buffed vigorously, giving the wood a fresh lustre and sheen leaving you the customer with what is effectively a moderately refurbished frame ~ Some frames, depending on size, may be available with old glass & a backing so please enquire about this before we ship ~
