Bon Vier Appraisal

Bon Vier Tavern Street Scene Framed Art Print

The item is a framed art print depicting a vibrant street scene of a European-style tavern with the name "BON VIER TAVERN" visible on the facade. The print is housed within a double matting system, featuring a narrow gold-colored inner mat and a wider black outer mat, creating depth and separation from the frame. The frame itself is a rich, ornate gold color with intricate scrollwork or textured detailing along its entire visible surface, typical of a classic or traditional aesthetic. The outer dimensions of the frame are significant, enclosing a well-proportioned print. The print captures the exterior of the tavern, showing details such as a dark blue awning over the entrance and a large display window on the right. Inside the window, glimpses of tables and possibly foliage are visible. The building's facade is white or light-colored, showing some texture or aging, and features an intriguing mural or artwork depicting a horse-drawn cart and figures. A dark-colored bench, possibly wrought iron, sits on the cobblestone-patterned sidewalk in front of the mural. The overall color palette of the print is warm and inviting, with earthen tones, blues, and dashes of green. The condition of the frame appears excellent, with no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear. The glass covering the print also appears clean and intact, reflecting some ambient light. The print itself presents no obvious signs of fading, water damage, or creases, suggesting good preservation. Its style suggests a contemporary decorative art piece, likely mass-produced as an open edition print, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship of the framing seems professional, indicative of a ready-to-hang decorative art piece.
