[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 11265070, member: 301"]not staples is good..... but that's a weird frame and stretcher....... all cut from the same wood... poorly cut so it needed those nailed on corners , furniture tacks on the canvas , and poorly attached to the frame with those long nails , too long so they were hammered to bend flat on the wood.......:eek::eek::eek: That's an amateur job.... home made...but with the antique gold paint being a redeeming quality !! The canvas does seem to have some honest age..... with a nice use of colors for depth...but with poor shading. As Charles says...... good from far , but far from good........ imho ! I might think 1950's circa.......more or less. Maybe a tad earlier....[/QUOTE]
