Amazing Frame

This is a really nice frame made by Meissen in the mid to late 19th century. This often comes in a larger size and is then used as a mirror or I have even seen a clock added to the center before but I would probably use it as a picture frame myself. This is a nice version with the attached forget me not flowers applied to the main frame part. The oval frame part is nicely modeled and hand painted. It has little oval colorful spots to it with tiny forgetmenots in between them, a pink and turquoise pointy trim to the edge facing the inside and lots of gold trim. The bottow half or so has the applied blossoms and leaves to it and there is a pink bow on the bottom. There are two cherubs sitting on top of the frame that are holding a floral garlands between them. One has a pink cloth draped over it and the other a light blue one. It's a really nice piece and in better condition than most one comes across. It displays perfectly but a few of the flowers/leaves had some expert restoration doen to them. Not many and they are hard to spot. The left big toe of the pin cherub has a flaw to it. Not sure if it's a small crack or if the toe was off and has been reapplied but I am leaning toward just a firing flaw.All in all as nice as they come! The entire piece is about 9.25 inches tall, 6.625 inches wide and 2.25 inches deep. The visible opening is about 5.25 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide but there is about a quarter inch of extra room all around in the back for whatever you want to show off. The piece is marked to the top between the cherubs with the under glaze blue crossed swords mark (first choice) as well as painter's number 22. in black in the top back and the incised model number at the back bottom as shown. The frame has four screw holes to attack a wooden backing or even to attach it to the wall. One still has a small screw in it. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
