One that's been sat at my mates for ages and Id totally forgotten about it, oops! 
- Outside dimensions: 72cm x 62cm and just over 3.5cm thick
- Inside dimensions: 59.5cm x 49.5cm
- currently fitted with sheet of plexi, and looks good actually. I had to touch it to know it wasnt glass. Also means it can be posted - i even have a box that it fits in!
- also has a simple cream coloured board and a gold coloured plastic architrave in it, you dont have to use it of course, it all pops out. inside if mount is 34cm x 25cm
- Obviously had tape removed from back and has pins to secure back still present (and some more taped to back) - your framer might redo that totally but you could do something yourself with whats there of course.
- strung (seems sturdy enough) and ready to hang.
I think its made of some kind of soft wood (pine perhaps?), so not going to pull down your wall or anything like old oak heavy frames of this ilk. Gold leaf has been applied properly over red primer etc. Looks to be a good job imho. There are a few rubs where rhe red is showing through, but to be honest with golf leaf that is actually desirable as it looks 'right'.
My mate reckons its worth $100, and im happy listen to offers round there, feel free to correct me in a PM if you feel thats too low or high LOL. Will post of course, and has box and packing for it, but unsure of price as boxed its quite weighty.
Apologies for the dull pics, looks better in real life, its gold after all!
