Evocative Antique Tramp Art Frame with Worn Red Velvet William Charles Palmer painting 13 5/8" x 10 5/8"

13 5/8" x 10 5/8" x 1 1/8" framed

Found in Pennsylvania and with some age to it for sure

for storing the flock of animals that once would have accompanied it inside

I'm not a surfer and really have never been tempted to try

The curled piece attached by rivet to the bottom left of the hanging rack is a tiny bit loose

Evocative Antique Tramp Art Frame with Worn Red Velvet William Charles Palmer painting 13 5/8" x 10 5/8"I find this very old tramp art frame super evocative, itself feeling like a story of grandness in decline and making me imagine it hanging on the plaster walls of some old Italian villa. The dark red velvet that once covered the framed panels is much worn or gone altogether, leaving the wood red stained in its wake, which I find really beautiful and the reverse side is quite a beautiful thing too. Great for a mirror or a small portrait or still life
