The gilt brass is warm and even across the front face, the beaded surround is crisp and well-defined, and the pierced foliate crest is intact with no losses or bent elements. The easel hardware is all original, the pivot ring functions correctly, and the frame stands firmly on its two splayed legs. The glass is present and intact with light age-related wear. The original burgundy velvet backing shows significant wear and losses, with the flock partially gone across much of the surface and the underlying material exposed in places. This is consistent with a frame of genuine age that has never been restored and is what you would expect from an original backing surviving 120-plus years. The frame structure beneath is sound. No repairs, no replacement parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51440438575382,"sku":"AMD-03181","price":325.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/June_Enland_2026-3501.jpg?v=1781725100","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/french-gilt-brass-oval-picture-frame","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
