| This is a magnificent French gilded bronze picture frame in the neo-Classical style, superbly made to the very highest standards and beautifully enhanced by enamel decoration in a sumptuously attractive warm peach color. The frame is a most impressive size and this, coupled with the combination of its superlative bronze decoration and its lovely enamel inserts has created a truly exceptional museum quality piece. The bronze d’ore is of the very highest quality and its pretty design incorporates beautifully crafted garlands, swags, miniature beadwork and laurel leaves, all attractively presented and superbly highlighted by the addition of the gorgeous enamel work. This is not only a glorious and distinctive color but has also been cleverly crafted with a surface that resembles textured satin. The top of the frame has been elaborately and effectively crowned with a fabulous heavy gauge design depicting a ribbon swag entwined with scrolling leaves and roses. The frame can be hung on the wall from a hook concealed behind this decoration or can be displayed on a flat surface supported by a substantial pierced stand, the base of which has been stamped with the words Gimbel Brothers, Philadelphia and France. The frame is in excellent condition throughout with crisp definition on all the decorative elements and a lovely soft warm coloration on all the bronze d’ore. It measures approx. 15 1/.4” wide x approx. 19 ½” tall to the top of the decorative crest on the top. The picture opening is approx. 7 ¾” wide x approx. 9 ¾” tall. This is a very special, one of a kind piece and would make a wonderful addition to any setting. Price: $23,500.00 Stock #BA672 |
