Part of The Royal McLean Mansion Downsized: Property of a Princess · Furniture & Decor · Lalique · Rugs · Fine Art (live auction by Prime Auction Solutions)

Status: Sold

An ornate Italian carved giltwood picture frame in the Rococo taste, the wide molding worked with scrolling shell and acanthus-leaf ornaments at the corners and centers and finished in warm antiqued gilt. A recessed linen-toned liner frames the opening, setting off the gilding and giving the frame an old-world, Continental elegance well suited to a painting, print, or mirror. The frame accommodates artwork sized 16 x 20" within an overall footprint of 26 x 31". It carries the mellow patina of age and shows honest condition wear consistent with a period frame, including a crack through one carved corner ornament and an area of gesso and gilt loss exposing the substrate along one rail (please review photos closely, sold as-is). A decorative Italian frame with genuine character and hand-carved detail, offered as a restoration or display piece for a collector or decorator. Outer 26 x 31", inner opening 16 x 20"
