<p>[QUOTE="SECoyne, post: 9979198, member: 88798"]It came out of a shop in Wilmington, NC, 20+ years ago, in the frame it is now in. A rough looking frame compared to the work. As I recall the cloth backing (the work is stitched to) had edges folded over onto a piece of wood/panel and glued to (at least) the back. Cleanly secured/glued(?) to the board. I don't recall the condition of back of the frame. The work was pressing up against the glass so spacers were used to move it back some. Can't photo the reverse without taking apart.... [ATTACH=full]501071[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501072[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501073[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]501074[/ATTACH] ....The dimension of the piece on the board, placed into the frame back is 7 by 14-1/2in. The outer dimension of the frame is 16-3/8 by 11-1/2 inches. I think it was $125, no history offered, just caught my eye. The shop also had French/German pieces, a very large Wedding Shrank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
