Here is a good early tramp art frame completely covered by carved pyramided layers, done with precision and skill, four deep high? The gold finish, either paint or bronze powder, has oxidized and mellowed to a pleasing darkness. Just for fun I have put in an advertising print for NASH, circa 1950’s, which is in a mat with a 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ opening. I think the car is a Nash Ambassador – doesn’t the driver look happy? After all, it was their top of the line model! Absolutely nothing wrong with this frame; the condition is perfect for its age and it has had decades to develop a very rich patina. Sight size 7 1/4″ x 9 1/2″, outside size 12 1/2″ x 14 3/4″. US buyers only please.
