This auction is for a gilt gesso frame with an original oil painting in the frame. The painting is oil on masonite and unsigned. The scene looks like one of the ponds and hills found here in Maine. Can’t you just see yourself canoeing along that shoreline? The bright gold gesso frame has a deep long curled leaf pattern followed with a 3/8” glossy band then a deep and wide burnished gold cove and finishing with a ¼” narrow leaf band and small cove at the opening. The frame has the customary small chips missing but the design is so deep and ornate that it distracts from the missing pieces. With a touch of gold paint they would almost disappear. The back of the frame shows nice age and has the original wood backer in place. The frame measures 9 1/8” x 15 ¾” outside, 5 1/8” x 11 ¾” inside and 1 3/4” deep . A Very nice old frame and oil painting in great condition ready to hang!
