An antique oval wooden frame carved and gilded, dating to circa 1900, in the Antique style.
Description from the seller
Oval antique wooden frame carved and gilded, datable to the late 19th century, an elegant expression of late 19th-century decorative taste inspired by Baroque and Rococo models. The rich and dynamic ornament, consisting of scrolls, botanical clusters, and deeply carved foliate motifs, creates a refined play of light and shadow that enhances the three-dimensionality of the carving.
The gilding, warm and luminous, bears a natural patina that testifies to the passage of time and lends the whole piece an authentic charm typical of representative furnishings in noble houses of the period. The inner profile is enhanced by a rhythmic decorative band, which evenly frames the central space, making the frame ideal for housing a portrait, a mirror, or a painting in a classic style.
An object with a strong presence on the stage, capable of transforming a wall into a focal point rich in atmosphere, this frame combines decorative value with collectible appeal. It fits perfectly into elegant interior-design contexts, both historic and eclectic, in dialogue with antique furniture, luxurious fabrics, and environments with a refined character.
Structurally sound, in good overall condition for its age, with normal signs of wear that attest to its authenticity and history.
Proper packaging and traceable shipping across Europe.
