Large Antique Folk Art Primitive Picture Frame with Currier & Ives Lithograph

This fantastic example of folk  art was purchased from the estate of a New York City antique dealer.  It’s a great example of primitive work created at the turn of the century with simple materials.  There appears to be a loss of the leaves on all four corners as to be expected with a piece of this age. The wood itself has chased channels and notches finishes on the ends.  The piece appears to have been professionally reframed more recently with an original hand-colored lithograph from Currier & Ives circa 1870s. Please note there are damp marks on the bottom of the lithograph itself.  The title at the bottom reads “Mama’s Darlings to the left ‘Published by Currier & Ives” and to the right ‘125 Nassau St. New York’.  The piece of art would make the perfect statement on its own or be integrated into your gallery wall.

Please keep in mind when buying antique and vintage items you are purchasing something that is pre-loved. Most items show signs of age-related wear such as marks, variations of surface texture, minor scratches, and other issues associated with age. It’s what forms a part of the appearance of vintage pieces, but that’s also what makes them so unique. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about a particular item.
