Antique rectangular wooden frame dating to circa 1880–1910, with stepped inner moulding and a wide exterior relief frieze finished in red, brown and gilded polychromy, made of wood, stucco and gilding, originating from France, in good used condition with visible wear and minor losses of the polychromy.
Description from the seller
Rectangular antique wooden frame, with an inner stepped molding and a wide exterior frieze decorated with raised vegetal and floral motifs. It features a finish in reddish-brown, browns and gold tones, with significant wear and losses of polychromy that reveal the background and impart a very distinctive patina.
Due to its construction, decoration and rear mounting system, it is compatible with a historicist frame from the late 19th century, probably made in a craft workshop. The exterior decoration seems to combine carving with applied raised relief elements. 19th-century frames made of wood, stucco, bole and gold leaf are a well-documented typology.
Material: Wood, stucco/decorative paste and gilded polychromy.
Technique: Carving, assembly and raised relief decoration, with polychromy and gilding.
Era: Late 19th century, approximately 1880–1910.
Origin: France.
Style: Historicist, with Baroque/Rococo inspiration.
Measurements: 31 × 19 × 3 cm.
Height: 19 cm.
Weight: 280 grams.
Condition: Retains its structure, though shows significant wear of polychromy and gilding, small cracks and finish losses typical of its age. No glass.
Photos are part of the description.
Shipping: It is shipped by InPost, UPS or Correos, depending on the destination country.
