Gold Gilded Wood Double Picture Frame
outer dimensions: 26 inches H x 30 inches long
wood, wood carved mouldings that appear to be oak leaves, berries, and daisies.
14-18 kt gold leaf
slight amoung of patina visible
wood noticeable darker near the hardware seen on the frames back
cannot tell if hardware is hand or machine made
pretty certain that the moldings from which the frame is constructed were hand carved, judging by the lack of uniformity of the countors between corresponding oak leaves for example that occur at the same points of the pattern used. hopefully the pictures provided show enough detail.
i need help determining a few things:
1. approximate age of the frame
2. karats in the gold leaf
3. machine or hand carved?
4. approximate monetary value of similar types of frames.
happy to provide more/mor detailed photos upon request
