Rod Williams Appraisal

Framed Limited Edition Art Print by Rod Williams

This item is a framed limited edition art print, likely a Giclée or lithograph, by an artist named Rod Williams. The print is numbered 283 out of an edition of 500, indicating its status as a collectible, finite edition. The visible portion of the artwork itself appears to depict a scene with a warm, somewhat muted color palette, possibly involving figures or objects with softer edges, as suggested by the out-of-focus background. The print is professionally presented within a multi-layered framing system. It features a prominent real wood frame with a dark, reddish-brown finish, as indicated by the user-provided context. This outer frame encloses a double-matting arrangement. The inner matting directly bordering the print is a rich, dark burgundy or maroon color, providing a strong contrast and visual depth to the artwork. This is surrounded by a secondary, wider mat of a deep teal or forest green hue. Between the inner burgundy mat and the green mat, there is a decorative filet or liner, which is golden in color and features an ornate, possibly classical or rococo-inspired, scrollwork pattern. The entire assembly is covered by a protective glass or acrylic glazing, which shows some dust and reflections from the surrounding environment, but no major visible cracks or significant scratches that would impede viewing the artwork. The frame itself appears to be in good condition, consistent with being a second-owner item that has been well-maintained. The visible signature 'Rod Williams' and the edition number '283/500' are hand-written, suggesting they are original markings on the print, enhancing its authenticity and value as a limited edition. The overall presentation indicates a quality piece of art and framing, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century given the style of presentation and printing techniques common for limited editions.
