AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient large oculus frame in carved wood and plaster.
Scenographic, beautiful in appearance and in form, its main characteristic is the large raised decorations and the depth given by the three-level shaping.
In the outer part, delightful interwoven decorations alternating with spherical elements appear prestigious and refined.
Maestically stands out the frontal area with the large floral and foliate volute decoration; they create a splendid cascading interweaving of flowers all around the frame, of great charm and allure.
Very beautiful is the innermost area, characterized by a rich incised dotted border.
It presents itself as imposing with the substantial front thickness of 8 cm.
The frame is antique; the joints at the back show that it is a handmade object probably from the late 1800s to early 1900s, nevertheless it is in good condition.
This frame is a true masterpiece by the master artisans of past eras. Very well cared for in its details and richly covered with plaster, it presents itself in optimal dimensions for displaying one’s paintings, portraits.
