HERE IS A BEAUTIFUL OLD SUNDAY ARTIST PAINTING ON OLD ACADEMY BOARD..OF A GLASS VASE FULL OF SOFT PINK MORNING GLORIES. WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS PAINTING..IS NOT SIMPLY THE CHARMING PAINTING ..BUT THE GORGEOUS ANTIQUE FRAME WITH INTRICATE GESSO ROSES..ALL AROUND THE EDGES. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER FRAME LIKE THIS..IT IS SO LOVELY. THE FRAME IS IN GOOD CONDITION..IT IS NOT PERFECT..HAS A FEW AREAS OF GESSO CHIPPED OFF..BUT COULD BE PROFESSIONALLY REPAIRED OR LEFT JUST AS IT IS.  I AM NOT CRAZY OVER ANTIQUE ITEMS THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT..I DO NOT MIND THEM SHOWING A BIT OF AGE. THE PAINTING IS SIGNED WITH HE INITIALS Z.W.

  THE OTHER FASCINATING THING ABOUT THIS FRAME IS IT HAS SOME TYPE OF POLYCHROME..IRRIDESCENT FINISH/SHEEN TO THE GOLD GILDING.  IT REFLECTS PINK WHEN THE LIGHT HITS IT.  I BELIEVE SOME OF MY PICTURES HAVE PICKED THAT UP. THIS IS ANOTHER OLD ESTATE SALE FIND..I BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALER WHO HAD PURCHASED IT FROM AN ESTATE IN THE SOUTH.  THE PAINTING MEASURES 18 X 12 1/2 INS. APPROX.  THE ENTIRE FRAME AND PAINTING MEASURE 22 X 17 INS. APPROX. THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL PRIZE FOR YOUR COLLECTION OF OLD ANTIQUE FLORALS. I paid 400+ dollars for this , starting bid is much lower.  ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME.

For the winning bidder..Please respond to e-mails after the auction on how you intend to pay..payment is due 5 days after auction end..paypal is fine..if you prefer check..please post it soon after auction end..within a day or two so it reaches me in time.
