Antique Picture Frame Fits 8.25x11.5" Art, Painted Gold, Old Glass, Unusual Back

Offered here is this antique picture frame with mat.

The window in the mat measures 5.25x6.75".

Very nice. Wavy old glass. Hardware in place ready to hang.  Unusual backing board was patented in 1883, according to a label attached to it. This new board apparently was designed to replace the old shingle boards with a similar shingle board cut in one-inch widths, those strips held together with cardboard. Apparently the backing could thus be easily cut away in one-inch strips to fit whatever frame. There is some insignificant tape residue on the front center of the backing board. Please see the photos to judge condition for yourself. What you see is what you'll get!
