Status: Sold

An elegant Italian carved giltwood picture frame in the Rococo taste, its wide molding richly worked with scrolling shell and acanthus-leaf ornaments at the corners and centers, finished in warm antiqued gilt. A recessed linen-toned liner surrounds the opening, setting off the gilding beautifully and lending the frame an old-world, gallery-ready 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". Handsomely substantial and richly decorative, with the mellow patina of age; some wear and minor losses to the gilt and carving consistent with use, including a separation at one carved corner (please review photos, sold as-is). A versatile, statement-making Italian frame for a collector, decorator, or anyone wishing to present a favorite work in classic Continental style. Outer 26 x 31", inner opening 16 x 20"
