like to know about a couple picture frames
« on: March 07, 2011, 09:59:44 am »
I picked these up and am having a hard time finding info on 2 of them. the first one I think is a victorian style hand carved early to mid 1900's. the second all metal even the back with design in the corners I think late 1800's . and the last one is my fav just cause it was like a puzzle trying to get open i included the way i opend it no clue as to date. If someone may know or send me a link so I can read a little more on these that would be great. thanks

Can't help with the frames, but interesting subject. Pity you don't know who they were.

First frame might have been made around that time but I don`t think it is from here (US) !!  Can`t put a finger on the style. More German influence ?????  "Thinking out loud" !!

I have pictures of my folks from the late 1920's to 1930's and they are in original frames like the 2nd and 3d one.  In fact, LOL, my dad is wearing a christening dress like the kiddo in the second one.  1st frame, cant tell without hands but would gander it was from the early 1900's and possibly from Europe.
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!
