The Curators of Waddesdon Manor have shared rather interesting news on 'X' that a painted frame was uncovered by conservators working on a late 18th century French Trompe L'Oeil in their collection. This painted illusion had apparently been covered by a real wooden frame (some people, eh?) which has now been removed and is on display in the manor's Blue Dressing Room.
