AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of antique frames in carved and gilded wood, Louis XV rocaille style, late 19th century.

Magnificent pair of antique frames, made of carved wood and gilded with gold leaf, featuring a rich rocaille decoration typical of the Louis XV style, revisited in the 19th century.
The baguette is adorned along its entire perimeter with finely chiseled relief motifs: stylized shells at the corners and centers, interlacing foliage, scrollwork, and pearls, with an inner groove decorated with a ribbon and reparure. The gilding displays a beautiful patina of age, with areas of natural wear that highlight the authentic and antique character of the piece, without major alterations.
This frame, ideal for showcasing a painting, mirror, or antique engraving, evokes the elegance of classic French interiors.
Approximate external dimensions: 50 x 60 cm (view: approximately 35 x 45 cm – to be measured precisely for framing).
Condition: Good overall for its age, with signs of wear and small chips in the gilding (visible in the photos), typical of an antique item. A small chip on one of the two. No visible restorations, back bare (empty, without backing or glass).
Provenance: French private collection.
A beautiful decorative object or for framing, perfect for antique enthusiasts and lovers of classic decoration.
Don't hesitate to zoom in on the photos to appreciate the details of the sculpting and the patina!
