Authentic early 20th-century antique gesso-over-wood picture frame, dating to approximately 1900–1930. This frame retains its original gold wash finish, natural age patina, and original twisted wire hanging hardware.
The molding features a simple stepped profile typical of late Victorian to early Arts & Crafts transitional design. The surface shows expected age-related wear and oxidation consistent with genuine antique frames — no repainting or modern refinishing.
