Boston Portrait

With so much stuff taking up space, I sometimes don't have room to leave projects available, and forget they aren't finished.

I bought this large portrait, typical of the 1850 era. It has a Boston label on the canvas, so assume it is from NE, if not Boston. Apparently it was on a wall where there was a leak, as there is quite a bit of damage, which did not really concern me, as my interest was in the frame. There were some losses, but nothing I couldn't mold from existing ornament.

The white areas are replacements, and I have actually begun the gilding/toning to match them, but the frame had to move back into storage, so might not get finished for a while.
