Condition

Giltwood frames with chips and losses to gilding and gesso. Some tears to the wax paper where it has dried out. A few have come unhinged and are slightly misaligned within the matting. Creases and some losses (the largest one with the most losses and restorations). Quite colorful and interesting. All are of slightly different sizes. Please note that these have not been examined out of frame.
