DJON1982, the meaning of the frame, probably to protect the edge of the canvas , it is an antique old and fragile , and if his move on the table , half- shelves, he could easily grind and crack. Then the picture will have to throw it away, because the restoration would cost more .
Personally, I have not seen an antique painting of the 19th century for sale without a frame , no matter what.
