Antique 19th Century Gesso Frame Hand Drawn Matting Silk Roughed Photo Portrait
I purchased this beautifully framed pencil signed professional photograph from what I believe to be the later part of the 1800\'s.
The largest framed dimensions are approx. 12 X 14
Upon disassembly to determine if any further markings were present I found none but I did find that all components of the matting are independent to the photo. The photo is not attached.
The matting has hand drawn flowers and decoration. Also present is an arched silk roughed perimeter around the cut out for the photo. Also, faded maybe burgundy in color velvet.
I don\'t have any history on the photo other than I purchased it at and estate sale.
I believe the information above to be accurate I am not a collector or do I have any art training.
