I have for sale another Eastlake Aesthetic Ebonized Victorian Gilt picture frame. This is called a "shadowbox" as it has four layers of wood (see pic.). This frame measures 13" by 15." and is 4 deep.

The glass is very old and wavy with the marks of old glass and no cracks or hairlines. The back is the original wood (see pic.) The photo is of Rhea and Thelma Young of Utica New York. It is charming. The little girl has a big white bow in her hair. I think the photo is later than the frame, most likely from around 1918 or so. The matte is original.
