Arthur H. Harris, Frame Maker, Ithaca, NY, C. Early 20th C. Salesman Sample Frame winstons just a little paint loss

just a little paint loss and a little staining visible against the cream

and African tribal carvings of twin and coupled figures--a couple of examples included at end in photos

but I think it would make a great little planter or paperclip holder

Since 1987 she has been based in Corrales

Arthur H. Harris, Frame Maker, Ithaca, NY, C. Early 20th C. Salesman Sample Frame winstons just a little paint lossA fun one the unbreakability of which I have not tested, but it's definitely sturdy! I haven't turned up anything definitive about an Arthur M. Harris who was a frame maker, though I did find an Arthur M. Harris of Elmira, NY, 18501916, which could be right. A terrific folk art frame, whatever the case, now a mellowed gold, with Harris' excellent hand lettered salesman's pitch still inside. 10 3 4" x 8 1 4" and in excellent condition. Film (original)
