Description:

Walfred (W.T.) Thulin (American, 1878-1949)

Arts & Crafts Frame Surrounding a Mirror. Signed and dated "19WT19/ Thulin" in red and with a round label from The Society of Arts and Crafts, Boston, both on the frame backing. Carved, painted, and gilded wood in the sgraffito style, outer dimensions 26 1/2 x 18 1/2 in. Condition: Minor losses to gilding, split to miter at u.l. corner.

N.B. It is very likely that this frame always held a mirror. It is typical to find mirror frames of this size to be signed on just the paper backs.

The frame does not bear the typical incised signature and date in the wood. The signature and date are painted in red on the frame backing. Mirror sight size 19 1/2 x 11 1/2 in., back of frame not removed.
