Kurt's Picture Frames

These exquisite frames were sent to me by an old Marine Corps comrade from Colorado. They originally belonged to his great-grandparents and, through my research, I've traced their origins back to the early 1900s. Notably, these two frames actually comprise four individual frames; the intricate carving you see forms part of a frame within the frame itself, presenting an exciting opportunity to challenge my carving skills. It’s clear that many details are either missing or damaged, and the frame’s squareness is off by as much as 1/8 of an inch, highlighting the wear of time.
