Hearts in the Corners, Large Mid 19th Century Folk Art Frame with Original Blown Glass learning toy this is a cut paper

this is a cut paper work on on laid paper with graphite drawn details

and while the inked text at their centers has faded some it is still readable with a bit of effort--all were awarded to a Master Andrew W

I would be very glad to keep this one for myself

another set of which I've never seen

leaving plenty of room for stowing other things

Hearts in the Corners, Large Mid 19th Century Folk Art Frame with Original Blown Glass learning toy this is a cut paperOf course it is the four big hearts at the corners that sold me on this great old folk art frame, mid 19th century and walnut I believe. I removed an old and faded early Currier and Ives print from it and cleaned up its original blown glass, looking as if not touched in some 150+ years! Ready to put to use again now, a big sweet one. . 21" x 17 1 2" overall, opening holds 14 1 8" x 10 1 8" . Original blown glass, and wired on the back for hanging.
