Frame - Wood

Rectangular frame, made in wood veneered with pastiglia and finished with warm-toned gold leaf gilding. The structure features a richly shaped and eclectic profile, which, with formal rigor, reinterprets the dictates of the Louis-Philippe style and the Second Empire. The external decoration develops on a molded fascia traversed by a fine granulated punch that has a ridged appearance, enclosed by a mistilinear edge interrupted by small knots and foliate scrolls.

The inner order descends toward the bead with a smooth groove enriched by a raised cordolo torchon and by a refined internal beaded molding of small successive ovals. At the back, the frame reveals solid and impeccable ebony-like craftsmanship still true to the nineteenth-century tradition. The frame is built of fir or poplar wood and shows typical mortise-and-tenon corner joints, reinforced by joining wedges and transverse inserts in hard wood set in a dovetail pattern to guarantee the perfect stability of the structure.
