Frame - Antique Baroque box-frame in gilded wood - Manifattura Veneta, 19th Century (Dimensions 50x60 cm)

Description:
A refined and rich antique gilded carved wooden frame with inlaid decorative plaster, dating from the late 19th century to the very early 20th century, of exquisite manufacture from the Veneto area. The frame features a sinuous, deep profile and is adorned at the corners and along the central bands with elegant reliefs of vegetative motifs, leafy scrolls, and small flowers. The inner profile that tightens toward the glazing is finished with a classical beaded/ovolo moulding.

The front gilding preserves a warm, evocative shine, enhanced by a light and natural patina of time. The back reveals the original wooden structure, structurally reinforced in a later period with the application of metal angle plates to ensure stability and immediate use (either to house an antique canvas or to be transformed into a prestigious mirror).

From a private collection.
