So what would be closer to the original painting in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam than a hand-painted replica in oil on canvas? The replica with an antique frame!
And yes you are buying real antique here. This frame was made in Van Gogh's era: late 19th century. It is carved and wood gilt with gold leaf, in good condition with only small signs of ageing (see photo of details above), with a weight of 2,5 kg.
At the end of his life Vincent van Gogh painted several masterpieces in double square size. We were lucky to get this antique frame in these particular proportions and in this condition at an auction, perfectly matching Van Gogh’s Wheat Field under Thunderclouds.
The size of the frame is 37 x 57,5 cm / 14.57 x 22.64 inch
The size of the painting is 18,5 x 38,8 cm / 7.28 x 15.28 inch
