Style: Antique Folk Art. Medium: Oil on Canvas Highlights. Unique, hand-painted original oil artwork. Folk-style scenes of rural life, perfect for lovers of traditional or country-style decor Condition: 1. Artwork: The paintings are in good condition considering their age, with no chips or missing paint. However, due to their antiquity, there is notable cracking in the paint, which adds to the authenticity and charm of the pieces. They are estimated to be from the early 1800s based on the age of the canvas and nails present. Frame: Please note, the frames are not as old as the paintings and are in tattered condition. They feature heavy wear, including chips, cracks, and dents. The frames are crafted from wood with a black Bakelite covering and exhibit signs of aging. The framer’s tag and machine screws suggest they are of a later date than the artwork itself. ________________________________________ The Secondhand Gallery – Where Art Finds New Life.
