About the Item

A beautiful and antique early 20th century circa 1920's Dutch ripple and ornate eared corner style picture frame. The rabbet size (size that holds the art) is 30.5" wide by 21.5" high. The sight size (size that shows the art) is 29.5" wide by 20.5" high. The outside measurements of the frame are 37.25" wide by 28.25" high by 1.75" deep. The frame can be positioned either horizontally or vertically. And of course, this frame size is always perfect for a mirror. The outside edge has an inset ripple design that runs the perimeter. The eared corners remain inside the width of the frame. There are various other inset running ripple designs and motifs throughout. The sight edge is gold. The back of the frame shows a construction with mitered corners. The surface shows minor wear and losses adding to the character and charm of this antique frame. William Morris is quoted as saying, “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” For me, this directly applies to the picture frame. The frame is at once both useful and beautiful. It holds, protects and enhances the art. The picture frame and its design elements are also tied to architecture and furniture. Many of the ornamentation and decoration elements on frames are also found on the facades of buildings as well as on tables and chairs. It is for this reason, that frames were also considered as furniture. There are many famous artists and architects who designed their own picture frames including Edgar Degas, James McNeill Whistler, John Marin, Charles Prendergast, Georgia O'Keeffe, Stanford White among others. And since you're still reading, I'd love to share a little about my love of picture frames. We will need to travel back over twenty years. It was 2002, I had moved to New York City with the dream of becoming an antique dealer. With a six month sublet and six hundred dollars, I set out into the City that Never Sleeps. It was here that I happened upon the world famous 26th Street flea market. Every weekend dealers brought their freshest finds and the buyers lined up with flash lights in hand to buy them. I had found my passion in antique and period picture frames. Soon thereafter I established myself as a serious dealer in fine picture frames and found my clients throughout the coveted Upper East Side and all along upper Madison Avenue. With a selection of frames on my shoulder and a swipe of my MetroCard I was transported from my studio apartment in the West Village to another world. A world of Picassos and Kandinskys, Cassatts and Sargents, Titians and Tintorettos... it was magical. I was hooked. Still am. And I hope you are too!
