DC (if that ends up being relevant), and I'm rather out of my depth.
What are the best sources for that era? What would you recommend to someone

from the 1970's, that were painted gold and were used as wall decoration.
Specifically, an oval picture frame with molded bow. I think my great aunt
had one, or something very close, on her wall. It was hideous there,
