Description from the seller
Splendid Ancient Wooden Frame with Gilded Stucco – Luigi XIII / Baroque Style – mid-20th Century
In the auction, an elegant and richly crafted antique rectangular frame, made of wood and finely worked paste/stucco, entirely gilded. The structure stands out for its refined profile with a "running pattern" motif clearly inspired by Baroque and Luigi XIII style. The entire perimeter band is covered by a dense, deep relief decoration with foliate motifs and acanthus, tapering inward until meeting a linear and geometric molding that frames the edge. The gilding shows a beautiful patina of time, with warm, browned tones in the crevices of the carving that enhance the three-dimensionality of the ornament and create a splendid play of light and shadow. A piece of great charm and visual impact, perfect to host an antique painting, a mirror, or as a standalone furnishing element for interiors both classical and eclectic.
Style: Luigi XIII / Baroque (Revival)
Era: mid-20th century
Material: Wood, stucco and gilding
Condition: Excellent overall condition commensurate with age. It features a splendid original patina. Very small and normal signs of time that do not compromise its stability and beauty (carefully examine the detailed photos).
External dimensions: 34x28x5 cm
Internal dimensions: 23x17 cm
