Labels and signatures from old and antique picture frames. Other aspects of framing, interiors, exteriors, signage, etc. Click on an image to enlarge. Email me, sidebar, Bron, or my colleague, fellow framewright, Richard Christie. If I add to a post, I'll bump it to the top. "Post Labels", to the right include specialties and locations if you are searching for something specific.

John Kesson
This perfect example of this great label was kindly sent via email:
The damaged label below was originally posted 20th May 2012:
A partial label for John Kesson of 28 Diamond Street, Aberdeen, Scotland. I hope to find a complete example as it is a really nice design with various frames and artist's palette. The frame on the left has the name and address, and the frame on the right says 'Carver' and 'Gilder'. He traded from this address from 1881 to 1915 or later.
More information on this framemaker can be found on the National Portrait Gallery website - Directory of British Picture Framemakers
