Scuola italiana - Frame (2) - Wood, paste - A pair of oval frames

We offer at auction a fascinating and elegant pair of oval wall frames, made in Italy in the first half of the 20th century (circa 1920-1930).

The frames are characterized by a rich decorative relief in stucco on a wooden structure, skilfully gilded with a warm and enveloping tone.

The design echoes the classic aesthetic canons of the Louis XV style, highlighted by:

External carved band: Decorated with beveled, fishbone-like motifs that give movement and reflect light.

Internally refined profiles: They feature a regular sequence of beaded elements (kymation) juxtaposed with scrolls and shell-shaped projections and rocaille along the inner battuta.

Depth and three-dimensionality: The pronounced reliefs create a suggestive play of light and shadow, making these frames perfect for enhancing period portraits, miniatures, oil paintings, or shaped mirrors.
