    Thank you for your time. The material (matting) is red velvet and it is not glued to the painting. I was told the frames are hand carved, and then (yes) glued together. They are over 100 years old and have been in the family that long. My grandmother thought the artist also made the frames. I guess beauty is in the eye...

    Dear Reefannie,

    I didn't want to sound rude, but I just told honestly what I see - I have a lot to do with old european paintings and I guess I have almost seen & rated thousands.

    Of course, beauty is a matter of personal taste, but I don't want/I can't judge beautiness, that is duty of the spectator.

    I know it is hard, but should I tell you lies? Sure you understand - you can keep them of course as nice family-connected artefacts, that have surrvived the ages and have almost losts of distance covered and seen a lot of the world .

    Best regards, burns
