PAIR FRAMED ORIGINAL VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHS
SAILORS PLAYING BILLIARDS - KENT
This is a lovely pair of genuine vintage sepia photographs of Sailors relaxing over a game of Billiards. The are serving on One of them has the photographer's name printed at the bottom of the mount: J.Charlesworth. 6, High Street, Old Brompton, Kent. I estimate them to be from around 1900.
A note about the frame: These photographs are still untouched in their original top-quality mahogany frames - I have resisted the temptation to remount them as I think the small marks and foxing add to their character and the photos themselves are fine. All pictures come securely packaged and ready to hang.
Condition: The photographs themselves are in excellent condition. The mounts have gone a little brown, one has quite a bit of foxing particularly on the narrow band next to the photo itself. The frames bear just a few small marks as you would expect with age but are sound with a lovely colour and high polish. The backing paper on the reverse is coming away a bit and I have replaced one of the original strings with brass wire.
Size: Frames measure 14" x 12" (36cm x 31cm) Images measure 8" x 6" (20.5cm x 15cm)
