{"product_id":"victorian-chip-carved-wood-picture-frame","title":"Antique Victorian Chip-Carved Wood Picture Frame, Circa 1890","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA small Victorian-era hand chip-carved picture frame, English, circa 1880 to 1900. The carved face runs in two distinct registers: an outer border of crosshatch diamond points and an inner border of repeating trefoil motifs, both hand-cut with a chisel in the English folk carving tradition that flourished during the Arts and Crafts period. The original brass ring-and-knob hanging hardware is in place. Glass is present. This scale works beautifully for a cabinet card photograph, a small botanical or devotional print, or anything that benefits from a frame with visible hand labor and honest age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Type | Hanging picture frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Material | Stained softwood or fruitwood, hand chip-carved\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Carving | Two-register decoration: outer crosshatch diamond border, inner repeating trefoil border\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Hardware | Original brass ring-and-knob hanger, top center\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Glass | Present\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Origin | England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1880 to 1900, late Victorian\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Frame size | 6 in W x 6.75 in H (not including hanging ring)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[d]Aperture | 4 in W x 4.75 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e[condition]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe frame is in good antique condition with honest age-appropriate wear throughout. The chip-carved decoration is intact across the face with no significant losses to the carved registers. The dark stained finish has patinated evenly with age. The original brass ring-and-knob hanger is in place and functional, with normal surface wear to the brass. Glass is present and intact. The cardboard backing is original and shows age-related staining and some looseness at the edges. There is an illegible handwritten inscription on the top rail of the back, likely recording the carver's name or a date, which is a genuine period detail even though it cannot be read. The frame structure is sound and the piece hangs well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51440600416534,"sku":"AMD-03189","price":200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/June_Enland_2026-3678.jpg?v=1781730684","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie.myshopify.com\/products\/victorian-chip-carved-wood-picture-frame","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
