Frame - Gold, Wood - 19th-century box.

Magnificent box frame in ebonized and gilded wood, 19th century (the 1820s)

Splendid antique box frame from a prestigious manufacture, datable to the 1820s of the 19th century. This high antique piece stands out for the refined chromatic and decorative combination between the black ebonized background and the bright gold features.
The central black band is finely embellished with delicate decorative and floral motifs incised or hand-gilded (probably with details in mecca or leaf), which evoke classical style and confer great depth and elegance to the work. The perimeter and inner moldings are finished in gold leaf, showing a splendid authentic and natural patina of time, which attests to its age and originality.
A frame of great character, ideal for enhancing period paintings, important canvases, mirrors, or as a high-level decorative element for refined interiors.
