Set of 5 Antique Folk Art Hand Carved Frames Tramp Art Vintage Rare OOAK Set

Description: 5 Piece SetVintage, Hand-Carved Frames These were purchased from a collector in SW Mississippi about 20-25 years ago. He had purchased the set in the Ozarks of Arkansas prior to that. That's as far back on the known history I can go.The photograph of a young child, and the glass pane covering it in the first frame, look to be inserted prior to the square framing around it being nailed down - the photograph and glass look "built in" so to speak. The upper two nails holding the square framing go into the base of the bird piece on top. It would take some work and likely leave damage to remove all of this and replace the photo. Based on that, the age of that photo could be an indicator of the age of the frames. Not sure of the wood type and possibly varies among the frames. Measurements below are approximate and made at longest/widest points: Frame 1 - 4 Birds: 9-3/4" Tall X 11-1/2" Wide.Frame 2 - Heart opening with wings and feet: 11-1/4" Tall X 10" Wide.Frame 3 - Diamond with Roses/Flowers: 12" Tall X 7-1/2" Wide.Frame 4 - 2 Birds and Columns: 9" Tall X 8-1/4" Wide.Frame 5 - Horseshoe and Rosettes: 10-3/4" Tall X 7-1/4" Wide.The glass in the diamond frame (Frame 3) is wavy in spots like hand blown. The most damage to any frame looks to be the significant chips to the rosettes on frame 5 (horseshoe shape). That frame also has a wire stand attached. The others are either hanging (frames 2 and 3) or have bases thick enough to be free standing (frames 1 and 4).This is a remarkable, one of a kind set of folk art frames. Please see pics and feel free to ask questions. Thanks for looking.
