First, let me apologize for the size of the picture, they tend to lose detail when I resize too much. If anyone can successfully resize it I will remove my large one. I purchased this yesterday.
It is an oak frame that measures 33 1/2" across and 17" top to bottom at the center points. the 3 pictures are separate and the glass is wavy so I think it is original. I would like to list it but really could use some help on the title line. Any suggestions?

Wow, it is beautiful. Try <img src=http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/rg/rgrem/picture1.jpg> I resized it with irfanview , possibly best picture handler for ebay and resizing. Dave

Dave, putting the jpg causes just an x, the pic doesn't show.
abacaxi, thank you for input, i do know it is dated somewhere between 1900-1915. these used to hang in dining rooms over the sideboard. they were traditional, the fish,fowl and fruit motif. I know this much from seeing one pictured on "at the auction" on HGTV.
I just don't think "Dead fish, Dead birds and fruit" make a very appealing title, lol.

Then in the first paragraph I would list all the key words that apply to the item. Make sure you put Shabby Chic up front. A lot of people with money to spare like this style.
Also, highlight the fact that Thanksgiving is upcoming.
Also, highlight it's appearance of excellent to near mint condition.
I love this piece, you can almost 'feel' the fuzz on those peaches.
And, yes, I would also list it under Sports, maybe even popping for another category.
My thoughts on this issue have gone 'Un-Surveyed' and may not be of importance to the P.T.B.

Please let us know when you list it. I seldom am as impressed with a piece as I am with this one. rarriffle- if you just copy and paste the http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/rg/rgrem/picture1.jpg , you will see what a nice job irfanview does.

rgrem, thank you for the picture. that is wonderful.
all of your suggestions are so great, I will be using many of them. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Hi to all and thank you for the wonderful suggestions and remarks. At least I know it really is beautiful and not just some dumb thing I think is beautiful
I took it to show to an antique dealer friend of mine and he immediately offered me $90.00 for it. I told him if it didn't reach the reserve on ebay I would get back to him.
It does have a small amount of damage to the jesso? around the pictures but this is normal. there are also a couple of scratches in the wood but I do not use anything to cover this up before I take my pictures.
I just now returned from the emergency room with my husband. He is being admitted with pneumonia. I told him I want this listed tonight so he said come home, do it and come back.
We do have our prioritys. LOL
Well, off to write the description, wish me luck and search under fruit, fish, fowl to find the listing. The title is not for sure yet.
THER.
