Description from the seller

Authentic craftsmanship with a spectacularly high relief.
This sturdy French frame (circa 1870) is a dream for every collector. Not a flimsy reproduction, but a solid, hand-worked piece with an unmistakable historic character.

The red underlayer (bole) shines beautifully through the gold, the proof of real water gilding.
Despite the characteristic age-related cracks, the construction is solid and stable.
Deep profiling with lush acanthus leaves that create a stunning play of shadows.

Condition: Beautiful antique patina, unrestored and structurally sound; see photos for overall condition.
A rare, powerful statement for your painting or mirror. Make an offer and bring French grandeur into your home!

This frame is well packed and shipped with tracking via PostNL.
