Description from the seller
Splendid and elegant antique frame in Montparnasse style, particularly fashionable among Parisian artists of the École de Paris in the first half of the 20th century to enhance modern artworks with a touch that is antique yet luminous.
The profile features rich and deep continuous relief decoration.
One observes foliate acanthus scrolls, shell motifs in the corners, and rosettes enclosed in geometric medallions and swirls.
The inner edge presents a classical molding with finely punched passementerie trim.
The original patina shows a fascinating contrast between the gold that emerges from the reliefs and the chalky, matte finish of the backgrounds, which gives visual depth to the whole.
The back reveals the object's genuineness and its period craftsmanship.
It is composed of four sturdy wooden elements assembled with diagonally reinforced joints.
The wood displays a warm dark patina due to age.
There is an original wrought-iron ring hanging hook fixed directly into the wood.
The frame preserves a splendid original patina of its time.
It shows slight and normal signs of wear related to age, small superficial losses or craquelure on the lacquer and on the stucco that do not compromise its aesthetics, but rather certify its authenticity and vintage charm.
External measurements: height 60 cm, width 91 cm, depth 5 cm
Internal measurements: height 41 cm, width 72 cm
