~ Large charcoal-enhanced photo of an African-American woman from near the turn of the century, in an ornate plaster-over wood frame and oval, convex glass.
~ From the estate sale of a collector of several hundred of these convex oval portraits - I thought this was one of the most striking.
~ The frame measures 14" x 21". The inner dimensions of the visible photo are 10" x 17".
~ The photo is mounted flat behind the convex glass. There is no photographer or artist name visible from the front and I have not removed the backing to check the rear of the photo.
~ Will ship carefully padded in a very sturdy box with styrofoam protecting the glass.
~ If you feel our price is out of line, please make an offer
Large charcoal-enhanced photo of an African-American woman from near the turn of the century, in an ornate plaster-over wood frame and oval, convex glass.
From the estate sale of a collector of several hundred of these convex oval portraits - I thought this was one of the most striking.
The frame measures 14" x 21". The inner dimensions of the visible photo are 10" x 17".
The photo is mounted flat behind the convex glass. There is no photographer or artist name visible from the front and I have not removed the backing to check the rear of the photo.
Condition excellent - a few tiny spots of damage to the photo above her right shoulder. A very faint dampstain to the upper photo edge - hardly noticeable. There is a chipped-off portion of the plaster decoration on the lower edge of the frame, revealing the wood beneath. No scratches or damage to the glass.
Will ship carefully padded in a very sturdy box with styrofoam protecting the glass.
