Description
Nautical-themed tabletop picture frame shaped like a wooden rowboat. The frame features a white 'plank' background with navy pinstripes, yellow trim, and a deep red bow. It includes two decorative wooden oars forming a V-shape over the photo window. Perfect for lake house, beach cottage, or nursery décor. Fits approximately a 3x5 or small 4x6 vertical photo.
Key Features
Whimsical nautical design, unique boat shape, dimensional oar accents, popular nursery or 'lake house' aesthetic.
Authenticity Indicators
Mass-produced decorative item. No specific brand markings are visible; authenticity is not a factor for this level of decor. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Minor paint wear on the sharp edges of the 'boat' hull. The back easel stand may show wear from repetitive use. These are common for composite wood items and are easily touched up with a marker or paint.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Mercari, or Etsy (if listed as 'Supplies' or 'Vintage Style'). Best sold locally to avoid shipping costs which may exceed the item's value.
Selling Tips
Market this using keywords like 'Nautical Decor', 'Lake House', 'Beach Nursery', and 'Canoe Frame'. If shipping, use plenty of bubble wrap as the decorative oars are fragile points. Bundle with other nautical items to increase the total sale price.
