    I assume this was originally a frame for a painting? It is beautiful and very heavy! Just trying to figure out an age and any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you! Approx. 31.5 x 35.5 in. giltmirror.jpg giltmirror1.jpg giltmirror2.jpg giltmirror3.jpg giltmirror4.jpg giltmirror5.jpg giltmirrorback.jpg giltmirrorback1.jpg

    Good photos!
    I’m getting a mid-19th Century vibe due to the decorative motifs, but I suppose it could be from a wide range of years within that time frame.

    Compound frame made up of different moldings. Circa 1900 to my eye. The modified egg and dart molding on the outside suggests a bit earlier but those leaf curlicue motifs inside are more late Victorian.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?
