Currier and Ives print in original 19th century walnut and gilt frame "Little Snowbird"

Fine Art : Printmaking : American 19th Century Printmaking : Currier & Ives

 

This is an original Currier and Ives lithograph print, frame opening 10" by 8" (total frame 14 1/2" by 12 1/2"), titled "Little Snowbird", from the 1860's, in a nineteenth century typical American walnut frame with gilt fillet. Unfortunately, this very old print has been damaged over the years, and it's now severely torn at top. The title portion and "Currier and Ives" are folded under, as are side portions. So, the principal value of this item is the frame, and the print is a bonus. I suppose it could be trimmed and saved and reframed by a person who thinks this worth saving. The frame has some chips in corners of the gilt, and the mitered corners are separating a bit. Shipping wizard photos are guesstimates. SEE HUNDREDS OF OTHER WORKS NOW IN MY SHOP.
