SAILOR'S ROPEWORK FRAME| KNOTBOARD


 
Monumental artistic exercise probably by a sailor with time on his hands. An old Victorian frame has been transformed with a skilled c omplex of ropework--wide outeer frame| then white or gold embellishment| intricate corners| flat planes| etc.| slight arch to the top of the interior. Now framing a sample board with a variety of rope knot exercises| this center could be removed and used separately leaving the rope frame to enclose a substantial size mirror. Found in New England| disregard the sold tag| that's from when I bought it but couldn't carry it away.
