Description from the seller

Set of three handcrafted wooden frames with gold leaf gilding – Italian production, late 20th century

Elegant set composed of three frames handcrafted in wood and finished with gold leaf gilding, made in Italy at the end of the 20th century using traditional decorative techniques of artistic carpentry.

The frames feature a solid wooden structure with a molded profile and surfaces gilded with leaf, a workmanship that lends depth and luminosity to the surface and creates a refined play of reflections typical of artisanal gilding. The finish highlights slight colour variations and shading of the gold leaf, elements that testify to manual crafting and confer each piece with a unique character.

The set includes three frames of different sizes, ideal for creating a harmonious decorative composition on the wall or for enhancing photographs, engravings, or small paintings.

The production can be traced to the Italian artisanal tradition of the late 20th century, a period in which many workshops continued to create frames using classical techniques such as ground preparation, bole laying, and the application of gold leaf, ensuring aesthetic quality and durability over time.

Thanks to their sober yet elegant style, these frames fit perfectly in classic, boho chic, vintage, or contemporary interiors, enhancing images and photographs with a refined decorative presence.

Condition: good, with normal and slight signs of wear compatible with age and use, which do not compromise the beauty or functionality of the objects.

A decorative, highly versatile lot, ideal for collectors, interior designers, or anyone wishing to create a warm and elegant photographic wall.

Proper packaging and trackable shipping across Europe.
