[QUOTE="benbenny007, post: 224272, member: 4194"]What a beautiful piece. Its indeed looks like its framed in the UK, but why did they frame it this way!? Just saying what I would do if the mat is not clued onto the painting, the rest is up to you! Look at other works of the artist and which kind of stretcher were used in his works. Buy a cheap 19th painting with a similar stretcher which is hold together with (preferable) hand-hammerd nails. Make sure it has exactly the same size as your painting (the canvas and leave space for the borders). Bring the two paintings to a framer and let him re-stretch the canvas over the new stretcher and reuse the original nails (let him use a wooden hammer). Give it a nice 19th century frame and voilĂ . I knew a framer who added vacuum cleaner dust after he would reframe antique paintings ;)[/QUOTE]
