ANTIQUE WALNUT PICTURE FRAME WITH LEAVES AT CORNERS THIS FRAME WAS HANGING IN MY MOTHER'S HOUSE FOR 70 YEARS. SHE WAS AN ANTIQUE DEALER AND EXPERT SO IF SHE HAD IT IN HER HOME, IT MUST BE SPECIAL. IT HAS NO GLASS. THE FOUR SIDES HAVE TWO GROOVES RUNNING ON THE TOP ALONG THEIR LENGTH. THEY GO TOGETHER LIKE LINCOLN LOGS WITH CUT OUT AREAS IN EACH OF THE FOUR PIECES THAT THE NEXT SIDE FITS INTO. THE FOUR SIDES ARE NOT PERFECTLY EVEN--T ARE DEPRESSIONS AND MARKING FROM THE IMPERFECT CONDITION OF THE ORIGINAL WOOD. T ARE FOUR LITTLE THREE LEAF CARVINGS IN WOOD THAT FIT OVER THE CORNERS. THESE APPEAR TO BE GLUED ON, BUT ONE IS LOOSE. T IS A BIT OF DRIED GLUE IN THE GROOVES OF TWO OF THE SIDES. I THINK IT WOULD CLEAN OFF EASILY BUT I WAS AFRAID OF HARMING THE ORIGINAL FINISH OF THE WOOD. T IS A BIT OF NEWSPAPER STICKING TO THE BACK W IT WAS PACKED BY THE MOVERS. THE CONDITION OF THE PIECE IS GOOD OTHERWISE, AND MY MOM ALWAYS SAID IT WAS VERY OLD. THE OPENING IS ABOUT 11 X 9 INCHES.
