Frame
Original, by Chapman Bros., London
Frame
The frame is a variant of the classical revival style, with a steep inner scotia. The leading edge is a variant of the reeded form while the working edge carries the slight bevel we might otherwise associate with seventeenth-century Dutch frames.
Note
1 From the register of Felton Bequest accounts, 2/5 1927. Entry for 3 May: Chapman Bros. for framing ‘Mrs. Claude Johnson’ by Ambrose McEvoy, the frame cost £7-10s.
I am grateful to Liana Fraser for this reference (from research carried out in various archives for the Conservation Department in 1995).

Materials
The frame is built from a solid wooden profile with no added ornament. The mitres off the corners are nailed. The working edge and the rebate are built up by the addition of timber strips. The surface is water gilded throughout, giving a satin finish to the gilding.
Frame Condition
Apart from small losses and deterioration of the surface coating, the frame is in very good original condition.
