Set of two Eastlake picture frames

By fishmanhb, 4 October, 2009
Description

Each frame has had it's fair share of wear and tear. One has pieces of it's decorative covering that has gone brittle and cracked off. The pictures themselves are loose from the outer wood frame. All the nails are still intact. The only writing on any of it, is the prints in the frames, and those say "Roses In Vase" by Berger, and they were framed in 1945. The frames have nicks and blemishes, but I am more concerned with where they originated from, than the price. I'd be interested in the price as well, but mainly the history of them. I have seen similar ones online, but I have not been successful in finding this duo anywhere. thank you so much for your time.

History
My neighbor is from Thailand, and she moved out, and gave these to me. All she told me was that her ex husband didn't want them back, and that they had come down his family tree she said the pictures themselves were not old, but that the frames were from the end of the 1800's.
