AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Spectacular and imposing frame made of solid wood, carved with plaster, and gilded in fine gold.
With a substantial frontal thickness, it presents a scenographic, beautiful in its appearance and form, its main feature being the exquisite and grand relief decorations, meticulously handmade by master artisans of the era. These decorations offer the suggestive impression of a beautiful interweaving of floral and foliate motifs in scrolls that undulate at the four corners of the cornice in a cascading display.

The inner part consists of a zigzag-engraved edge that increases its depth, and finally, at the outermost part, an edge made up of convex semicircular dots that enhance its appeal and originality.
The side profile consists of stepped notches.

This is a rare frame, an ancient masterwork, a hard-to-find piece, of substantial dimensions. Exceptional for enhancing and displaying high-prestige works.

NB. Since these are antique items, there may be cracks, stains, small missing parts, signs of aging, etc. Please review the photos carefully.
