Description from the seller

Elegant oval frame in gilded bronze – Louis XV / Rococo style, with support

A refined antique oval frame, crafted in cast bronze or brass, richly decorated in Rococo/Louis XV style. The piece stands out for its asymmetrical, flowing design, with lavish volutes, vegetal motifs and shell decorations, typical of 19th-century French decorative aesthetics.

The top is capped by an elegant stylized shell element, while the base features harmonious decoration with an integrated front support. The interior of the frame is embellished with friezes and reliefs that confer depth and sophistication to the whole.

Includes original rear metal stand, functional and decorative, allowing stable display on a flat surface.

Approximate dimensions:
• Height: about 16–17 cm
• Width: about 13–15 cm

Weight:
• Approximately 0.31 kg

Condition:
In good overall condition, with natural patina and signs of use consistent with age. Minor wear and marks that reinforce the authentic character of the piece.

Seller's Story

I am passionate about art, antiques, and decorative objects with historical and aesthetic value. I carefully select unique pieces for auction, prioritizing those that stand out for their originality, quality, and history. I have a special affinity for antique mirrors inspired by the work of Alphonse Mucha, acquired from private collections and antique shops in Portugal and France. I also place great importance on pieces made of carved wood, especially in gilded relief, which represent the refinement and craftsmanship of classical decorative arts.
