Lucid Lines Lions Vintage Photo on Glass with Wood Frame Appraisal
Category: Wall Art
Description
This is a framed print featuring two lion cubs. The print has a sepia tone or appears to be woodburned, giving it a vintage aesthetic. The image depicts two young lions in a close embrace or resting side-by-side. The overall size of the piece, including the frame, is stated as 17X21 inches, suggesting a rectangular orientation. The image itself is protected by a layer of glass. The frame is constructed of wood with a natural or light brown finish. It appears to be a simple, relatively thin profile frame with a natural wood grain visible. There is a brown mat board surrounding the central image. The condition appears to be good based on the visible areas, with no obvious signs of significant damage to the print or frame, although reflections on the glass obscure some details. The style suggests a wildlife or animal theme with a potentially rustic or traditional framing style. The text overlay at the bottom indicates a source of purchase, "SHOPGOODWILL.com", which is not part of the item itself. No artist's signature or specific manufacturing marks are discernible in the provided image.
Appraisal Report
Based on my examination of the provided image and description, this item is a decorative wall art piece featuring a photographic print of two lion cubs. The print has a sepia tone, giving it a vintage appearance, and is housed in a simple wood frame under glass with a brown mat board, measuring 17x21 inches overall. The condition appears good from the photo, with no visible damage to the print, frame, or glass. The term 'Lucid Lines' does not correspond to a known artist of high value in this genre, and 'Vintage Photo on glass' likely describes the aesthetic rather than a specific antique photographic process. This appears to be a mass-produced decorative item, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The market for such generic wildlife decor is broad and primarily driven by decorative appeal rather than artistic merit or rarity. Comparable mass-market framed prints of similar size and subject matter are widely available at affordable prices. The primary factor limiting its value is its status as a mass-produced decorative object rather than a fine art photograph or an antique print. A higher valuation would require evidence of a known artist's signature, limited edition markings, or provenance connecting it to a specific historical context. Without a physical inspection to confirm the printing method and check for any manufacturer or artist marks on the verso, I cannot definitively rule out unique characteristics, but all visual evidence points to a decorative value.
