Description from the seller
An antique gilded wooden frame with a print depicting the Madonna and Child.
– Italy, 19th century
Refined antique wooden frame, carved and gilded, Italian-made, dating from the 19th century, characterized by a rich decoration of vegetal motifs and volutes in a late Baroque style, still clearly visible and of high craftsmanship.
The frame houses a print depicting a sacred subject—the Madonna with Child—inspired by Italian Renaissance tradition. The composition recalls classical models of Raphael’s lineage: the Virgin’s delicate face, the composed and affectionate bearing, the sweetness of the Child, and the harmonious use of color confer a strong devotional and aesthetic value to the whole.
The gilding, probably in Mission style, shows a patina consistent with the object's age, with slight signs of wear that attest to its authenticity without compromising its overall elegance. The frame is solid, well-constructed and of considerable decorative impact, ideal for classical interiors, historic residences, or collections of sacred art and antique frames.
A decorative object with great charm, suitable for both collectors and upscale interiors, capable of enhancing any setting with sobriety and refinement.
Proper packaging and traceable shipping across Europe.
If you want, in the next step I can:
• make the description even more technical, as in an expert appraisal
• or adapt it for a more devotional audience
• even slightly more commercial to increase appeal at auction.
