We frame many pieces of art that our customers bring back from trips to Paris and this one is as authentic as they get. Most of the oil paintings we see have been removed from their original stretcher strips and rolled for transport in a tube. Not this one! An older painting, the customer wanted to preserve the integrity of the piece by leaving it on the original stretcher strips and going through the expense of shipping it overseas in a large flat box. We put a 2″ gold ornate frame on it (Made in France! appropriately enough!) This piece measures about 28″ by 20″. Fabuleux!
