Mary Webster--Federal Stock #4 EARLY GILDED FRAME WITH COMPO ORNAMENT
Circa 1820

  • Rare frame with a flat canted profile in the Sully style, but with compo ornament along the inner and outer edges. The acanthus leaf pattern along the sight edge makes me think that this might be a very early frame in the Sully style. The outside edges are slightly concave and painted in early mustard-colored paint.
