Antique Faux Tortoise Picture Frame with Gilt

Description

I don't know much about the picture frame other than it dates around 1880 and the reason I have for believing the frame is from 1880 is that when I bought the frame it had a newspaper framed in it that was from Blair, Nebraska with a date on the newpaper of 1880 and I believe it is Faux Tortoise with gilt.  It has flowers etched/embossed all around the frame itself.
