With this frame, of another picture bought at auction, I was keen to re-use that in which it had been originally framed. There was some damage to the wood, with chipping, and some water marking and scratches, and unfortunately it was not possible to patch it, so the frame maker re-gilded the entire frame. As the resources to do this are apparently limited here, there is a colour variation from the original, but I am actually quite pleased with the result. Luckily too a subsequent estimate has provided the incentive I need to buy these as investments. But more importantly, I like them in their own right and the valuation is just an added bonus.
