Elegant Antique Frame in Napoleon III Style – Ebony Wood and Gold
Add a touch of timeless French class to your spaces.
Splendid antique frame (late 1800s), a perfect example of the refined taste of the Napoleon III period. This frame is not just a support, but a true work of art capable of enhancing mirrors, antique prints, or masterful paintings.
Features of distinction:
Refined Design: The contrast between the deep ebony-black lacquer and the bright golden decorations creates a visually prestigious impact.
Frieze Decoration: The flat band is adorned with a continuous frieze of floral motifs and scrolls, made with the technique of chased silver (or gold leaf), which gives a warm, ancient sheen.
Exquisite Craftsmanship: The solid wood construction features a box-like craftsmanship, typical of European cabinetmaking tradition (French or Central Italian school).
Versatility: Perfect for a classic interior, but extraordinary as a contrasting element in a minimalist or modern setting, used as a frame for a mirror or left empty as a wall decorative element.
Condition:
The frame presents well-preserved vintage condition. The original patina has been preserved, giving that authentic charm only time can bestow. Small, barely noticeable traces of time attest to its authenticity and period.
Specifications:
Period: Late 19th century
Material: Carved, lacquered, and gilded wood

A rare piece for those seeking the elegance of authentic antiquity. Don’t miss the chance to own a fragment of design history.
