Two mid-20th‑century wooden frames with a gilded stucco finish, model Doble Marco, in antique Louis XVI style from Italy, each with external 75 × 65 cm and internal 65 × 55 cm, in good used condition with small signs of age and imperfections.
Description from the seller
It is two frames from the mid-20th century that revive the classical ornamental tradition through gilded and stuccoed wood, crafted with that taste for presence and shine that characterized many decorative pieces of the era. The surface shows warm gold, slightly aged, that lets the texture of the stucco show through and adds depth to the relief. It is not flat gold: it vibrates, breathes, plays with light and creates that sense of a noble object that seeks to elevate any work it frames.
Its structure is organized around a double decorative frame, two bodies that converse with each other: the exterior, wider and more solemn, with moldings that evoke classic repertoires; the interior, more contained, designed to guide the gaze toward the artwork without losing its ornamental character. That double level creates an elegant, almost architectural visual transition, which adds presence without tipping into excess.
It is a frame that combines craftsmanship, moderate theatricality, and a very clear sense of traditional aesthetics. A piece that, even though it is from the 20th century, preserves the spirit of historic frames: to surround, protect, and ennoble that which it encases.
Certified shipping and good packing.
