An atmospheric harbour scene after J.W. Gozzard — but it is the magnificent deep acanthus box frame that commands attention, its composition resin relief as crisp and substantial today as when it was made.
OBJECT DETAILS: An ideal piece for interior designers sourcing statement Victorian or Edwardian wall art, or for film and TV prop buyers seeking period-accurate late 19th to early 20th century English interiors.
A framed chromolithographic print depicting a river harbour scene with sailing vessels, rowing boats, and riverside cottages under a dramatic sky — after the work of J.W. Gozzard, the English painter of maritime and river landscapes, active circa 1880–1920. The print is presented behind bevelled glass within a deep box frame of exceptional quality: a heavy composition resin acanthus scroll relief moulding in warm oak tone, with an inner gilt slip. The frame construction is robust and intact — the composition resin has proven highly durable, retaining its relief detail throughout.
Origin: England. Circa 1900–1910.
DIMENSIONS: Framed: H 48cm × W 59cm (H 18.9" × W 23.2") Frame depth: approximately 5cm
CONDITION: In good vintage condition, consistent with age. Minor wear to the frame moulding at one corner. Small loss to the gilt inner slip — visible on close inspection, not visible from normal viewing distance. Bevelled glass intact, no cracks. Print in good condition behind glass. Hanging cord present.

CURATOR'S NOTE: The frame is the star here — deep, heavy, and magnificently detailed, it is the kind of Victorian box frame that is increasingly difficult to find intact. Equally at home in a traditional interior, a gentleman's study, or as a dramatic counterpoint in an eclectic setting.
