Exquisite old Japanese print or woodblock of two colorful macaws. I am guessing that this is from the 1920s, though it could be earlier. It is in it’s original Art Deco 1920s frame, still sealed in back and with a sticker from the original framing shop (Bolton’s Picture Shop, Oneonta, N.Y.). The image has what looks like a stamped signature and symbol. Please note! After this went to press I received a very helpful e-mail from a fellow eBayer in the artist's name - many thanks to that person. I know nothing about this! I just loved the almost Western deco style of this picture and the rich vibrant indigo of one bird contrasting with the eye-piercing red and teal of the other.
The picture is in a very classic 1920s wooden frame, with small carved or pressed border decorations. The frame is 7-1/8” X about 14-7/8”. The frame is sturdy and intact. The gold color trim is darkened. The glass is intact.
The backing paper is torn at one edge and somewhat spotted. There is some faint foxing in the area of the tails, hard to see except on close inspection. There is something that looks like a smudge at the upper right. The appearance is still lovely.
