Frame
Original, John Thallon, Melbourne, possibly recycled

Frame

The label on the frame suggests a date between 1896 and 1908.  The construction is a hybrid style reflecting earlier forms but making interesting use of recessing the corner ornaments into the leading edge.  The frame is either recycled or the label does not reflect the date at which the frame was made.
