Subject: Scottish framers
I am currently treating a painting with no provenance except for a framer's label. I was interested in trying to find some more information about the framer. Does anyone know of any resources I'd be able to access from Australia, such as online databases of framers that have worked in Edinburgh? The label reads "John Wilson, Carver and Gilder, Picture Frame Maker, 76 and 78 Buc... Street, Edinburgh", while the painting appears to be a late 19th century landscape.
