AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important vintage gilded oval frame, richly worked (Mezzopunto embroidery piece included as a gift)

Elegant vintage oval frame from the second half of the 20th century, characterized by an eclectic Baroque and Neoclassical-inspired style. The structure features rich relief carving with ornamental motifs of scrolls, foliage and geometric details along the entire perimeter, finished with a conspicuous antique-looking surface gilding.

Note on the material: The frame is not made of wood. It is a piece in high-density synthetic material (resin, rigid polyurethane, or pressed plaster), a traditional artisanal technique typical of the vintage period to achieve intricate decorations and structural lightness.

Note on the inner artwork (Included):
The frame is sold complete with the front protective glass and includes as a gift a vintage inner painting made entirely by hand with the mezzopunto embroidery technique (Gobelin/mezzopunto), depicting an autumn riverscape. The purchaser may decide whether to keep the artwork or reuse the frame for a mirror or another canvas.

Technical specifications:
• Object type: Frame for pictures / mantel frames
• Era: About 1970-1980
• Shape: Oval
• Style: Baroque / Rococo / Vintage
• Overall external dimensions: 50 x 39 x 4 cm
• Internal dimensions (opening): 35 x 25 cm
• Total weight: 1.5 kg (including glass and inner insert)
• Material: STUCCO RESINA E FOGLIA ORO
• Accessories included: Front protective glass and mezzopunto artwork

Conditions:
The frame is in good vintage condition. The structure is solid and intact, with no cracks, breaks, or decorative losses in the reliefs. The surface gilding shows slight and normal signs of aging and patina that enhance its antique look. The protective glass is intact and free of distortions. Please carefully examine the detailed photographs to verify the finish condition.
