[QUOTE="Landon, post: 324111, member: 5351"]Hello. I was in St. Kitts (Caribbean) this past week and was given this frame. My mother asked the homeowner if she could purchase it for me for my birthday but the owner declined and generously gave the frame to her. Unfort., I accidently spoiled the surprise upon the return trip.. Anyhow, the homeowner and his family have been on the island for 4 generations and all have been avid collectors of old estate finds (they are very well known on the island) and collecting items the sea brings to them. Truly an amazing house with wonderful things to look at. This particular piece appears to have been the back of a chair at one point but reassigned to being a potential picture frame. I'm curious if anyone can tell me about its origin based on the style. I can not find any markings. I also feel like I need to moisturize the wood as it is VERY dry. I snapped the upcoming pictures as I was walking out the door this morning to fly out for work. I would appreciate any feedback you may have! thanks![/QUOTE]
