AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Museum-style frame made of wood, rich in ornate and carved mouldings with a naturalistic interlaced pattern, finished with gold leaf gilding on a dark background.

It presents a striking profile, with relief-carved details richly adorned with vegetal motifs and pierced scrolls, with a double inner stepped moulding that enhances the central space.

Finely gilded and enriched by a patina with black tones that confer an elegant and refined chiaroscuro colour contrast.

The gilding, with its contrasts, is much appreciated under both artificial and natural light. Ideal for galleries or interiors where to display portraits, antique paintings, or newer artistic works.

Important dimensions:
Height 33 cm.
Width 31 cm.
Depth 3 cm.
Front thickness 7 cm.
Internal opening dimensions:
Height 20 cm.
Width 18 cm.

It will be shipped carefully packed and insured.
