<p>[QUOTE="Daveac, post: 281838, member: 5538"]Got another great one for you ladies and gents. Picked up this beautiful oil painting on eBay for $100, I love it and I'm quite sure it is an antique. It looks to me I have heard that artists used to use pieces of old doors to paint on, hence the bevelled edges, but I'm unsure. I'm pretty sure the frame isn't original to the painting as you can see from the back with the wooden packers. The frame is 30.4cm long by 26.5cm wide and the painting is 14cm long by 10.8cm wide. It could be c1800's or even as early as c1700's but I'm thinking more along the lines of c1900's. What you think can you help me out, ladies and gents? </p><p>I also have another similar one which I'll post next time.</p><p>Thanks for your time everyone.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]90051[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]90052[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]90053[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]90054[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]90055[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
