A pair of refined portrait frames in gilded bronze, Empire/Louis-Philippe style, 1900s.
Splendid pair of portrait frames of rare elegance, made of bronze and brass.
Oval shield-shaped with wavy, sinuous profiles, they feature rich decoration of scrolls, cartouches and neoclassical motifs that enhance their formal nobility.
The front is enhanced by an elegant inner cordon-border that frames the oval of the portrait, while the crimson silk velvet background lends depth and chromatic richness to the overall piece. The suspension system, with a triangular upper crossbar and spherical knobs, is typical of the finest French and Italian productions of the early 19th century.
Careful and trackable shipping.

Coppia di raffinate cornici da ritratto in bronzo dorato, stile Impero/Luigi Filippo, 1900's.
Splendida coppia di cornici da ritratto di rara eleganza, realizzate in bronzo e ottone. Di forma ogivale a scudo con profili mossi e sinuosi, presentano una ricca decorazione a volute, cartigli e motivi neoclassici che ne esaltano la nobiltà formale.
Il fronte è impreziosito da un elegante bordo interno a cordoncino che incornicia l’ovale del ritratto, mentre il fondo in velluto di seta cremisi  conferisce profondità e preziosità cromatica all’insieme. Il sistema di sospensione, con traversa superiore a triangolo e pomelli sferici, è tipica della migliore produzione francese e italiana del primo Ottocento.
