Description from the seller
Monumental 19th Century Gilt Wood and Gesso Frame – Neo-Baroque Style
A magnificent antique frame from the second half of the 19th century, made of wood with rich decoration in gilded stucco. The elegant ornamental apparatus, characterized by scrolls, floral motifs and finely chiseled details, recalls the Neo-Baroque taste and gives the object a remarkable visual presence.
The gilding presents a suggestive patina of time that enhances its authentic charm, while the original wooden structure testifies to the artisanal quality of 19th-century craftsmanship. Ideal for enhancing paintings, engravings, mirrors or as a standalone decorative element in classical and eclectic interiors.
The object preserves its historical character and shows normal signs of use and aging, with some losses and wear to the stucco and gilding visible in the photographs, elements that attest to its authenticity and age.

XIX century
Materials
Wood, stucco and gilding
Conditions
Good general condition for its age. Signs of wear, small losses, cracks and localized losses of the decoration, consistent with over a century of history.
