AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare monumental coffered frame – solid ebonized wood – circa 1913
Style: Eclecticism / Neo-Renaissance
Material: high-quality solid wood
Period: 1910-1919 (certified by a series of contemporaneous paintings dated 1913)
Up for auction: a prestigious monumental frame in solid wood, an exemplar of the excellence of early 20th-century artistic craftsmanship.
The piece, weighing about 7 kg, is an authentic artifact from the era (1913), originally part of a series of contemporaneous works.
Structure: deep 'box' moulding with a thickness of 6 cm that provides an extraordinary three-dimensionality.
Decoration: an ebonized finish enriched by refined polychrome decorations in botanical motifs and grotesques of Flemish taste.
External dimensions: 99 x 89 cm, internal opening 65 x 55 cm.
Finish: inner bands with a geometric punched texture and hand-crafted reliefs.
The item is in excellent overall condition. The structure is solid and intact, with the original patina of time that attests to its authenticity and enhances its historical value.
Given the fragility and weight, the frame will be shipped with reinforced professional packaging (corner protectors, polystyrene, and triple-wall cardboard), with insured shipping.
Seller's Story
For over 20 years, I have dedicated myself passionately to the search for and trading of special, rare, curious objects from any era.
Every piece I select has something that catches my attention: it can be the shape, the story, the unusual aspect, or simply that detail that makes it unique.
I am always searching for objects that speak, that tell something to those who know how to listen.
I choose them carefully, photograph them honestly, and describe them as accurately as possible.
Selling on this Catawiki to share this passion with those who, like me, love to surround themselves with things with a soul.
