AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A museum-quality frame rich in chased and carved moldings, in wood, and clad in the finest gold leaf.
Scenografica, presents a rich and ornamental design with deep carvings and acanthus leaf motifs.
Its greatest merit lies in these acanthus-leaf motifs that rise above the surface and interweave in the innermost quadrant.
Next, on the exterior, a rounded molding created by three perpendicular incisions that all the way around give the frame depth and three-dimensionality.
In the outermost part, exceptional floral engravings with volute scrolls, meticulously crafted, create a strong play of light and shadow.

This frame is a precious ornament that enhances the charm of artisanal craftsmanship in works of art, portraits, paintings, or mirrors.
