This is an elegant gilded bronze picture frame executed in a refined neoclassical design and elegant oval shape. The border of the frame is comprised of an outer band of gadrooning and inner bands of delicate beading and garland. The matte textured center is contrasted with channels of lush green guilloche enameling that are framed with delicate bands of beading, bands of rope-twisting, and accented with small flowers. Applied beads accent the design at intervals, while a flower and garland motif decorates each corner. The top of the frame is accented with a magnificent furling ribbon bow. The side of the frame is finished with a decorative floral band, and the back of the frame has a loop for hanging and a hinged wire stand. The frame is in excellent condition with very fine and crisp decoration, and is marked on the back with the word “France.” The frame measures approx. 5" wide and approx. 7" high. The interior opening measures approx. 10" wide x 13" high. This lovely antique frame would make a stunning backdrop for an important picture. A classic design that is both elegant and refined.   Price: $5,500.00   Stock #AY685
