Description from the seller
Elegant neoclassical-style painting frame, late 19th – early 20th century
A refined antique wooden frame with gilt finish and patina, featuring an elegant multi-layered architectural design. The outer profile displays a restrained gilded moulding, enhanced internally by a passe-partout lined with midnight-blue fabric and a slender ornamental gilded border finely carved with a foliate motif.

The combination of warm gilding and the blue fabric gives the frame a refined and gentlemanly presence, typical of European décor from the late 19th century to the early decades of the 20th century.
