1890 Victorian Society Silk Hand Embroidery Picture Frame With Photo
A nice society silk embroidered picture frame dating from the 1890's or early 1900's. The frame is hand made from a cardboard backing covered in cloth. Silk embroidery thread has been used to work the pattern on the cream linen cloth, a design which surrounds the opening for the photo (of the 4 lovely ladies). The size is 8" square. No hook or easel standard on the back for sitting or hanging. Possibly it would have fit into a wooden frame.
What's with the hair do of these young women? I found the rather pointed curls on the top of head interesting, to say the least.
Printing on the back of the photo states it is "Irving Osgood, Photographer, Main St., Ellsworth, Me.
Condition of the picture frame is nice with only a few blemishes of oxidation at the bottom of frame.
