Victorian Aesthetic Marbleized Etched Eastlake Frame w Heiner Kramer Etching

Description: This listing is for the antique Eastlake frame that you see in the photo. I purchased it at an estate sale in Oregon where I was not told it's history. I believe that it is from the last half of the 19th century. It comes with the original Heiner Kramer etching that you see in the photos. The etching was in the frame when I purchased it. The frame measures close to 15 1/4 by 13 1/4 by 2 1/2 inches. The opening at the back of the frame measures close to 10 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches. The frame weighs close to 3 pounds 8 ounces. The print is behind glass. I temporarily removed the print from the frame and took photos of the print. The print will be back in the frame when you receive it. As you can see, the sides of the print were folded for it to fit in the frame. Some of the left and right edges of the print are not showing when it is in the frame. The photos show some writing in pencil that is also hidden by the folds. I do not see Heiner Kramer signature. I identified the artist by doing some research. I imagine that the writing identifies the location. One of the words looks like "Rothenburg" which is Germany. The paper looks and feels relatively thicik. I am guessing that the hand colored etching is original. I leave it to the buyer to decide whether or not it is. I believe that most of the value of this item lies with the frame. The condition is much like you see in the photos. The etching has the folds that you see in the photos. Otherwise, it is fine. The back of the frame shows wear as one would expect for its age. The finished part of the frame is in excellent condition with a few tiny imperfections like specks of white that might be from when it was made. The narrow band of gold gilt closest to the prints shows some deterioration or the gold missing for some other reason. There is a small amount of missing gold on the outer gold trim. The frame might benefit from a light cleaning. Otherwise, print and frame are as shown.
