American arts and crafts - Taos frame




The next of my favourites from my new stock is this early 20th Century American arts and crafts frame. I would call this a Taos frame, but perhaps an American based blog watcher will confirm this? I think the design of this frame is amazing, it has sadly been re-gilded, as have a large number of the antique frames amongst the recent stock. This treatment is quite common by art dealers and galleries, just to have a uniform look to there frames and paintings, and just to cover up any wear and tear.
