About This Item
[London?], c.1814.. The scene is framed by an oval decorative black glass matte with floral decorations in the corners, in a decorative wood & plaster gilt frame. Captioned beneath the image, on the glass, is "Kezia, Wilkes, 1814". The silk is deteriorated in some areas where there is no embroidery, condition is otherwise generally fine and the image very strong. Possibly an old testament scene. The image is about 17 x 14.5 inches, the frame measures 24 x 21 inches. The label on the rear is for A. Gardner, "Carver, Gilder, Looking Glass and Picture Frame Manufacturer". This appears to be a memorial item, the black glass oval insert presumably created by the framer, with the subject's name lettered beneath the image. [This is an oversize item, and normal postage rates do not apply. Large framed artworks are sometimes available for pickup only.]
