Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1900s:
Registered design number 541742 stamped lower left: registered in 1909.
Single-slot brass corner screws: original fixings for Edwardian wall plaques.
Verdigris deposits along the lower edge: natural copper oxidisation over time.
Darkened pine backing board: aged tone from long exposure to air.

This is an independent date report produced by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. The process uses the photographs shown on this page. The system is never told the date the dealer has declared. This report shows that the two dates corroborate.
