This engraving is set in an oval wood frame with a finely carved floral/fruit/ribbon motif presenting nice gilt passages and under glass. Size: 14.25" L x 12.25" W (36.2 cm x 31.1 cm) framed

#147440Set in a frame under glass, this engraving has not been examined outside the frame. The composition appears to show slight toning and foxing and a small tear or crease to the right, outside the image. The frame is quite nice with minute losses to outer decorative border, a few cracks to the internal gilt border, and expected age wear with minor scuffs here and there. Wired for suspension and in overall good vintage condition.Condition
