About the Item

Antique Tramp Art Chip Carved Frame Mirror, circa 1920, a two tone chip-carved frame made by laying a graduated series of sawtooth-cut tiers one on top of another, creating a ridged frame with faux filet and applied triangles in a lighter color. The frame can of course be hung vertical or horizontal - it is currently wired for horizontal. The frame carving is in very good condition. This type of folk art was made using reclaimed scrap wood from cigar boxes, packing crates or the like, and such soft cheap wood often did not last well. The back board of this frame shows typical degradation or erosion, but it has been stabilized with "liquid wood" and is in good, strong condition now. Measures: 24-1/2 in H x 20 in L

Frame Chestnut Hand-carved Unique For Diploma or College Border or Fon Mirror
Located in Mombuey, Zamora
It is a unique and very special piece. It is worth framing the diploma in any office or Desk, giving it a special status, far from the commercial framework, no matter how good it is, this is another level. Someone had this frame carved by a very virtuous master craftsman. It is made of chestnut wood and has a very exquisite carving, well carved, with great skill. It still preserves the pencil design of the master craftsman on the back On the back you can also see the mastery of the craftsman who made it. There are 4 parts made in the same piece, the strip and the carving that surrounds it. The mastery demonstrated, not only for aesthetics, but also for the difficulty of carving, chestnut wood being a rather hard wood. perfect finish Carved walnut wood frame with upper pompadour Perfect frame with the perfect size to put the university border or frame your university degree and hang it in your office It is a unique piece, carved by a master cabinetmaker or carver in Spain It is beautiful and its carving is fine, elegant and well made Due to its size and structure, it was surely carved with that intention, that of framing a title or graduation or a college border With a frame like this your title, border or even portrait, will give a distinguished, original and unique professional office touch It is a good opportunity to obtain a unique object, being as it is increasingly difficult to find master cabinetmakers who work with this fineness of wood.

The perfection of its carvings is only comparable to those of the great carvings that can be seen in the churches and cathedrals of old Europe. These trades are already being lost and there are few cabinetmakers who continue to exercise their trade Louis XV style, late 19th or early 20th century Walnut wood caved...
