Iconic Arena Photo Appraisal

“One Last Dance” Framed Panoramic Photograph of Maple Leaf Gardens

This item is a professionally framed and double-matted panoramic photograph titled “One Last Dance,” capturing the final NHL game at the historic Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks on February 13, 1999. The central image is a high-resolution color wide-angle shot of the ice rink and the interior arena during the event, showing a full crowd and the iconic rafters of the stadium. Below the photograph is a small white-bordered black plaque confirming the event details and date. The piece is housed in a contemporary black wooden frame with a slight decline profile. The artwork is protected by glass and features a high-quality double matting: a dark green or black outer mat with a thin gold-toned inner fillet or reveal that adds depth and highlights the central photo. The construction appears sturdy, signifying professional custom framing. In terms of condition, the frame shows minor shelf wear along the edges and corners, but the internal photograph and matting appear well-preserved without visible fading or moisture damage. This commemorative sports memorabilia piece celebrates an iconic moment in Canadian hockey history, produced in the late 1990s as a limited or open edition collectible for fans.
