This is a striking gilded bronze picture frame executed in an elegant neoclassical style. This large rectangular frame has a wide border with an outer band of laurel leaves between two smaller bands of beading, and an inner border of laurel leaves. The center is comprised of a band of rich green guilloche enamel accented by a shaped band of neoclassical devices against a matte background. The decoration includes fleur-de-lys flanked by scrolling garlands, and small floral embellishments. The overall design is exceptionally refined. The top of the frame is accented with a magnificent central floral wreath flanked with leafy foliage that has been gathered in a furling ribbon bow. The back of the frame is marked “France” and has a hinged wire stand and wire loop for hanging. The frame is in excellent condition with very fine decoration and details. The frame measures approx. 10 1/4" wide and approx. 14" high. The interior opening measures approx. 7" wide x 8 3/4" high. This lovely antique frame is an exceptional example of the fine design of French D’ore objects. Its bold neoclassical decoration is equally sumptuous and refined.   Price: $9,500.00   Stock #BC749
