AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Museum cornice made of wood, rich in ornate and carved moldings with a naturalistic interwoven pattern, finished with gold leaf gilding on a dark background.
It features a highly striking profile, with relief-carved details richly adorned with vegetal motifs and openwork scrolls, with a double inner step molding that enhances the central space.
Finely gilded and enriched with a patina of black undertones that provides an elegant and refined chiaroscuro color contrast.
The gilding, with its contrasts, is highly appreciable under both artificial and natural light. Ideal for galleries or interiors where portraits, antique or more modern artistic works are displayed.
Important dimensions:
Height 33 cm.
Width 31 cm.
Depth 3 cm.
Front thickness 7 cm.
Internal opening measurements:
Height 20 cm.
Width 18 cm.
It will be shipped carefully packaged and insured.
