[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 4332835, member: 51"]Would this be gesso? Convex glass. It's one of the most ornate frames of this kind I've ever found. Back is kind of cool because we know the photo was taken in the 1930s. Frame is fairly large at 20 inches across. Just trying to get a feel for what value it might have ($80?) with picture, so keywords helpful so I can find similar. Thanks!

Obviously added more recently. I assume the girl in the photo is one or two years old, so dates the photo print to late 30s. Would the frame be 30s? Guessing plus or minus.
