AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Impressive carved wood frame, chiselled, stuccoed with plaster and gilded in fine gold, dating from the early 1900s. Spectacular in its appearance and form, its greatest merit is the multi-step modanated profile, carved, rich with chisellings and the reticulated band.
The front features rich relief decorations meticulously handmade by master artisans of the era, with phytomorphic motifs and volutes at the corners and in the central areas, interspersed with ornamental elements chiselled. These decorations give the sensation of a splendid floral and foliate interlacing with volutes sweeping the corners of the frame and the central cascading zones.
The central band, decorated with a lattice or lozenges (also defined as a honeycomb pattern).
The inner band is finished with red velvet (textile passe-partout), which creates an elegant color contrast with the gilding and enhances the luminosity of the painting.
Refined the outer tier with a stepped profile, characterized by a braided incision all around the frame.
The gilding shows a warm, even patina with slight signs of time and minimal wear at the most protruding points.
A frame of notable impact, a masterpiece capable of enriching and contextualising important works, significantly contributing to their aesthetic presentation. Ideal for museums, galleries and apartments.
