[QUOTE="R. Antonis, post: 307631, member: 3943"]Hello everybody! I've got a painting and 2 old frames. Both (to me) seem to be dating 19th Century. One frame is a bit smaller. The other one, which belongs to the painting is a larger size. I think they do have the same style. The bigger frame has a couple of pieces broken off of. I think this might be fixed with some plaster or something. Unfortunately the painting is very dirty. Can't find any signature. I hope this is hidden under the dirt, although this possibility might be very small. Does anybody have some cleaning tips?? A professional restorer will be too expensive, and probably not worth it. And internet-tricks with onions, potatoes and acetone wouldn't be risk-free either I guess... _________________________________ External Dimensions SMALLER frame: 22,83 x 26,55 inch. External Dimensions BIGGER frame: 35,4 x 27,55 inch. __________________________________ Thanks for paying attention!!
