<p>[QUOTE="Nina2, post: 9437154, member: 81278"]Nice to meet you all and thanks for the replies. Unfortunately it's been raining all day so I haven't been able to get it in the house yet to inspect further, I'll try and get the dimensions and check that spot for a date tomorrow. To answer the questions asked:</p><p><br /></p><p>What is the frame material/dimensions: I can say for sure tomorrow but I think it's painted wood.</p><p><br /></p><p>Are those woven tapestry panels: Yes the fabric wraps around to the back underneath those cardboard panels. There are paper remnants around the back of the frame so it seems like it would have had paper covering the entire back like paintings generally have. </p><p><br /></p><p>Where did you acquire it and what were you told about it: I bid on an auction of artwork groupings (in Midwestern US), mostly oil paintings both vintage and contemporary. This one was included in a lot. I think the original owner had passed away and the house was being cleared to be sold. I asked the auction host about it when I went for pick up but they didn't know. The lot which included framed canvas types was just titled "unique vintage artwork".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
