Description from the seller

Important wooden frame, elaborately molded and gilded, with rich decoration in foliate motifs and beaded borders. Spectacular in shape and appearance, in Empire style, it presents a refined panelled profile with an inner and outer band adorned with continuous friezes.

The balanced proportions, decorations of stylized leaves, palmettes and continuous motifs of the Empire style together with the warm gilding confer the whole a notable scenic presence, making it ideal for paintings, portraits, prints or mirrors, for houses and galleries.
