Kim,

What is the finish on the frame? Is it gold leaf, paint, varnish or something else. If the frame has a lacquer finish, your could have some problems. Knowing what you are working with may be important.

I suspect that the label might be applied with adhesive film of the peel off the plastic paper and stick on kind. If so, the heat from a hair dryer might soften the adhesive to the point where it could be gently slid off the surface of the frame. Then you have some residual adhesive that would have to be remove using mineral spirits or such. Test a hidden spot on the frame to see that the solvent used does not remove the finish also. Wish you success.
