Description from the seller
Important wooden frame with gilded stucco – Italy, late 19th / early 20th century
Large, refined antique period frame, made of carved wood and gilded stucco, attributable to Italian production between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, a period characterized by a rich yet balanced decorative taste inspired by neobaroque and neorenaissance models.
The structure features a mottled and deep profile, enriched with botanical ornaments and relief scrolls, skillfully distributed at the corners and central points of the sides, arranged in a highly elegant symmetrical composition. The gilding, applied over a prepared background, retains an authentic patina with slight color variations and natural signs of aging, attesting to its originality and historical character.
The inner border is defined by a refined beaded frame, a characteristic element of high-quality production of the era, designed to enhance paintings, prints, engravings, or valuable photographs. The overall effect creates a striking object capable of engaging with both antique and modern works, imparting them with solemnity and depth.
Ideal for:
oil or mixed media paintings
Ancient prints and engravings
historical images or vintage photographs
museum, collector, or classic interior arrangements
Authentic specimen, not a reproduction, intended for collectors, antique dealers, and enthusiasts of historical frames who seek craftsmanship quality, traditional materials, and a patina consistent with the age.
Professional and accurate packaging.
