<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Houseful, post: 9857787, member: 1067&quot;]Charity shop buy, frame size is 24 inches by 30 inches. The framers label dates from 1895-1957. Odd that it’s an oil on canvas and been put behind glass. I can’t make out the siggie at the moment, I’ll have to remove it from the frame and ask Aquitaine if she can do her wizardry. The roses look quite nice from a distance unlike the clumsily painted beads which imo spoil the whole painting. What do you think? I’m going to strip the white paint off, there’s gold underneath. When I bought it I thought it would make a nice mirror frame mainly because of the beads. What would you do? I’m an artist myself so I did think I might paint the beads out. I’m confident I could do that well but feel a bit uncomfortable altering someone else’s work. Thanks for any advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]493958[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493959[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493960[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493963[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493965[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493966[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493967[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493969[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
