Description from the seller
Splendid Golden Frame in the Louis XV Style – A Timeless Touch of Elegance
Let yourself be enchanted by the timeless charm of this magnificent rectangular frame, a piece that embodies the essence of classic craftsmanship. Characterized by a sumptuous gilded finish (or à la châtaigne/mecca), this frame is not just a support for art, but a work of art in itself.
The Design: Balance and Movement
Inspired by the refinements of French Baroque, the structure features a flowing, harmonious profile. The four corners are adorned with foliate carvings and floral scrolls that seem to come alive, linked along the sides by delicate central ornamental motifs. The work, realized with the pastiglia on wood technique, gives depth and relief that play masterfully with the ambient light.
Key Features
Antique Materials: Finely worked wood and gold leaf decorations
Authentic Patina: The surface bears a splendid patina of time that attests to its authenticity and character, imparting the warmth that only vintage pieces can offer.
Incredible Versatility: Perfect for housing a classic oil painting, a signed print, or for being transformed into a luxury gilded mirror frame that will become the focal point of any room.

Condition: good conservation state, with subtle and charming signs of time that enhance its historical value. small missing pieces described as per the photos.
External dimensions: 48x34 cm
Internal dimensions: 30x44 cm
Style: Louis XV / Baroque.
