Framed Golf Course Engraving With Ornate Top Ornamentation Appraisal

Framed Golf Course Engraving with Ornate Top Ornamentation

This item is a framed print, likely an engraving or lithograph, depicting a golf course scene. The print itself is monochromatic, appearing in shades of gray and white, illustrating a landscape with trees lining a fairway where several figures are engaged in playing golf. The border of the print within the frame features a decorative pattern of intertwined foliage or scrollwork in white against a dark background, indicating either a printed mat or a decorative element integrated into the print design. Immediately surrounding this patterned border is a dark, possibly woven or rope-like trim. The print is housed within a substantial wooden frame, which exhibits a dark, distressed finish, suggesting an antique or vintage aesthetic. The wood grain is visible, and the frame shows signs of wear, including scuffing and minor abrasions consistent with age and handling. The most distinctive feature of this framed piece is the elaborate, carved or molded ornamental crest affixed to the top edge of the frame. This crest, appearing to be made of a dark-colored material (possibly wood or resin designed to mimic wood), features ornate scrollwork and volutes, adding significant visual weight and an antique feel to the entire piece. A pink price tag is visible on the upper right corner of the frame. The overall style suggests an early 20th-century or possibly late 19th-century origin, with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and a classic sporting theme.
