AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Antique frame in carved wood and gold leaf – Neo-Louis XIV style – Napoleonic III period, 19th century
A superb and imposing antique moulded wooden frame, richly carved and entirely covered with original gold leaf gilding. This beautiful rectangular frame features a decoration characteristic of the Neo-Baroque style beloved during the Second Empire:
A wide exterior frieze featuring a twisted rope motif (guilloché).
A rich decorative motif of stylized acanthus leaves, heavily sculpted in high relief.
An inner, fine pearl-beaded baguette.
A beautiful curvilinear treatment of the corners with scrolls and rosettes.
The gilding, though it has endured the normal wear of time (some losses and localized wear, natural patina), retains a very beautiful warm glow and a strong presence.
Condition: good overall for a frame of this age – old gilding with wear from use, a few small restorations, satisfactory stability, no major damage.
Ideal for framing a 19th-century oil painting, an antique portrait, a significant engraving, or even as a very elegant decorative mirror frame.
A very beautiful decorative frame of high quality, perfect for enthusiasts of antique French frames from the 19th century.
Period: 19th century – Napoleon III / Second Empire
Style: Neo-Louis XIV / Baroque Revival
Origin: France
