    Earliest I think would be mid-20th C. The router-excavated frame back is the one thing that makes me think it isn't as old as one might think by just looking at the front.

    Hi,
    I think it is earlier and was square cut, then someone routed it out to make it bigger. I will have to take a photo of my great great grandmothers photo and frame.

    Hi
    Looker at it better I have to agree with the mid 20th Century date.
    Here is my period piece Circa 1855.

    I think it's earlier also. That so called looking router back was not unusual. It allowed a square/rectangular pic to fit comfortably in an oval frame without being rubbed or damage by a wood back. I have a couple of oval ogee or cymareversa & bead frames with gold "lips" (inner rim/edge)in storage with similar backs.
