It was listed by Strickland & Russell. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Strickland & Russell has dated this Georgian Gilt Picture Frame to the 1800s.
The thickness and depth of the frame, along with the stepped profile, are characteristics often seen in 18th-century British or French frames. The gilding (gold leaf or paint) and age cracks suggest it could be authentic or at least an antique reproduction. The cracking and separation at the corners indicate age-related wear, which is expected in antique frames. The gesso layer (the white base under the gilding) appears to be cracking, which is common in older, hand-carved frames.
