With two circular apertures, each with a rebate of 8 & 1/4 " by 8" (Internal) ~

... among the best Oak frames I have ever sold & certainly a most wonderful construction, a highly-convoluted two-mount affair, the outer frame with a wide, softly canted (angled) border, sloping to the image & within this incredible outer mounting, is another equally if-no-more impressive & incredible carved centrepiece section with a plethora of charming coruscating 'oak-related' classical motifs ~
... not just the amazing tone, grain & patina that one would associate with the work of a master framer, but what is so special about this carving is that the background is pitted & the various foliate elements the leaves, bracts & acorns, many with cups empty all have this wonderful light gloss sheen, not varnished, but just with a natural lightness & shimmering smoothness that glint & sparkle all along the beautifully frieze, heavilt patinated & deeply carved into the deeply bevelled sight edging ~
... the oak tree & its components were majorly symbolic in the Victorian era, with its mighty trunk & canopy, its lobed leaf & jaunty acorn - carries ancient symbolism, associated with lightning & fire; strength, perseverance & courage, fidelity & worship ~
... entirely carved & crafted by hand this frame with a wonderful feel of early handcrafted Arts & Crafts style, worthy of display in any museum or gallery; patently unique ~
This frame will suit a particular pair of images of cherished ones; it is certainly a frame that will grace any wall ~
Thank you for looking ~
If you have any questions please ask ~

Some useful info ...
... at bluehorsefinearts, we try to find the most interesting & exciting frames we possibly can, not just frames of excellent design & quality but also beguiling, captivating frames that are quirky & have that extra bit of character ~ be they Contemporary OR classic Oak , OR ostentatious Louis XV / Napoleon III / Italian Rococo / Polychrome gilded frames OR glamorous Art-Deco pieces OR incredible carved Arts & Crafts one-offs ~
Finding the frames is the tricky bit, I wear a lot of tyre tread & shoe leather on my travels & I reject 99% of the frames that I see based on design OR condition, not to mention price ~ Many of the 'high-end' Interiors glossy magazines World of Interiors / Architectural Digest / Elle Decoration et al, have been promoting antique frame ‘feature-walls’ for many years now has been a famous decorator trend ~
*A group of frames on a wall can be a great conversation starter & so we aim to bring as many quirky, top-notch antique & repro frames onto eBay at any one time to present plenty of options ~
** All of our antique frames will have some form of age commensurate wear , most of our frames are not reproductions & so there will be slight imperfections e.g., the odd ding OR light scratch etc, after all, this is the very essence of owning an antique frame ~ Please, always refer to the detailed photos, they are an accurate reflection of the antique condition ~
*** Each frame has been carefully stripped down of its backing & cleaned using professional materials - The back of the frame is then meticulously tidied of any loose impediments, nails, splinters, dust, glass OR any other abrasions ~ Where necessary, the border is then treated with a high-quality bees-wax and buffed vigorously, giving the wood a fresh lustre and sheen leaving you the customer with what is effectively a moderately refurbished frame ~ Some frames, depending on size, may be available with old glass & a backing so please enquire about this before we ship ~
*** We can combine shipping whenever possible, we are happy to combine shipping for multiple frames, simply buy your frames & then once done, request a new shipping quote, alternatively, pay for your frames including the shipping & we will give a full refund via eBay once your frames are wrapped, weighed & measured ~
*** New stock is listed every week ~
*** Any easels/props used in the photos are not included in the sale ~
*** Rebate/Rabbet dimensions represent the size of artwork OR mirror that the frame will hold ~
*** Unless mentioned in the above description this frame will not have glass OR a backing ~ New glass, however, OR distressed mirror glass can easily be sourced from a local glazier/picture framer & will cost in most cases no more than a few pounds ~ I do, however, keep a large stock of antique glass ~ should you wish to drop by our location in the North-West of England & collect a piece ~ please DM for details ~ TOM
We are Bluehorse154 & morethanjustjo on I N S T A G R A M
*** The enjoyment of a treasured painting is linked to how the artwork is presented ~ Top art galleries have always known this ~ It is a proven principle adopted in private & public collections all over the world ~ In choosing an original antique frame you are showing sound aesthetic judgement ~ It is incredible how powerfully a tasteful frame can influence our perception & enjoyment of a photo OR painting ~ The union of picture & frame jointly should be harmonious, amplifying & heightening the visual impact for you the viewer ~
