showing a bit of greening

a few have lost some paint on one side and one shows a repaired split across the middle

I purchased it from a dealer in my neck of the woods

Heart Shaped Tramp Art Match Stick Standing Frame with Glass victorian treen shoe showing a bit of greeningLots of hearts this week because what do we need right now more than them? I don't always go for matchstick tramp art, but the crisp execution and and strong graphic qualities of this frame, combined with the clear love and labor invested in making it completely sold me, and it's a super useful one too. c. 1940s I believe, with a carefully varnished surface. 6" wide (heart itself); base is 5 1 2" w x 3 5 8" d. Opening of frame approx 3 3 8" x 2 1 4".
