Authentic Canadian Arts & Crafts Gallery Frame (c. 1915)
- Provenance: Original period Arts & Crafts frame deaccessioned from a documented Homer Watson (O.S.A., R.C.A.) oil sketch sold as part of the Living Estate of Professor John and Nancy Bligh (Guelph, Ontario). The painting was subsequently rehoused, and the frame offered separately. The dimensions correspond precisely to the Watson sketch and the frame remains an exceptional example of early twentieth-century Canadian exhibition framing.
- Construction: Premium exhibition-grade two-piece design featuring a heavy 1 3/4” deep main frame and its original nesting liner.
- Dimensions: Interior maximum painting size measures 12 5/8” x 16 5/8”, visible opening 12 3/16″ x 16 3/16″; total exterior footprint of 18 5/8” x 22 5/8” with a commanding 3 1/4” gallery profile.
- Condition & Finish: Excellent historical condition, offering an irreplaceable, authentic 110-year-old aged patina that reproduction frames cannot replicate.
- Price: $995.00
