Frederick Morgan "Tug of War" Chromolithograph in Exceptional Antique Gilt Frame
A beautifully presented chromolithograph after celebrated British artist Frederick Morgan (1856–1927), renowned for his beloved depictions of childhood and Victorian family life.
Titled "Tug of War," the scene captures Morgan's signature sentimental style, portraying children engaged in spirited play with a family elder in a charming garden setting. Rich in nostalgia, warmth, and storytelling, the composition exemplifies the imagery that made Morgan one of the most widely collected Victorian genre artists.
Equally compelling is the remarkable antique frame surrounding the artwork. Executed in gilt wood with richly detailed ornamentation, repeating classical motifs, and substantial molded construction, the frame reflects the craftsmanship associated with late 19th- to early 20th-century decorative arts. The aged gilded surface has developed an attractive patina over time, lending the piece the character and presence sought after by collectors, designers, and decorators.
Today, antique frames of this quality are increasingly valued not only for the artwork they contain but also as decorative objects in their own right. The combination of Victorian imagery and a substantial period frame creates a striking statement piece suitable for traditional, English country, European, grand millennial, library, study, or collected interiors.
Dimensions:
36.5"W x 30.5"H
Condition:
Good antique condition consistent with age. The frame exhibits age-related wear, scattered losses to the gilded finish, and localized losses to ornamentation, all visible in photographs and consistent with an authentic antique frame. Artwork presents attractively behind glass. Ready to hang.
A highly decorative and visually impressive piece offering both the enduring appeal of Frederick Morgan's artwork and the increasingly sought-after presence of a large antique gilt frame.
