20 months for £10k damage to a picture frame.

WTF is a picture frame worth £28k?

It's such an important frame and integral part of the painting that the National Gallery don't show it or mention it on the painting listing.

In museum world the frames are seen as an important object related to the painting as they have been displayed together for so long/part of the objects history. so the frame has cultural value despite not being part of the artwork itself.
