Hey there. Any art framing businesses around that have actual wooden, ornate, gold frames available? I've only seen fancy resin ones in my search. Thanks!

Hey there. I'm looking to sell some 100+ year old antique oil paintings. I'm downsizing and unfortunately don't have room for them all. I would love it if they went to someone locally. I know GR has a pretty large art scene. Please message me if interested. Thanks!

I have information for each one, as well as many more photo angles.

Some of my grandfather's antique oil painting collection. Thought you all might appreciate them. I kept a few (not pictured), but unfortunately will have to sell the rest. It's such a shame because they are all stunning and all 100+ years old.

Hey everyone. I wasn't expecting my original post to get as much attention as it did. Thank you. It's honestly really nice to be amongst a community who really appreciates and values antique artwork. I thought I'd post all of the information and links to all photos more concisely here.

I also wanted to make it known that YES, I am absolutely willing to negotiate prices. And if you happen to live within the US and buy more than one, I'll make you some sort of deal for sure. I would really like these to go to people who would love and cherish them. Thank you again.
