Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

This large heavy picture frame dates from the 1930 period and follows a grand Regency style. It is made from gilt wood, linen, and brass, presenting a prominent gold finish with a neutral beige linen slip and a polished gold tone brass nameplate affixed to the lower edge. The heavy gesso moulded frame exhibits deep carved foliage along the outer border, intricate beaded moulding running parallel to the inner edge, and corner mitre joints. A small dark mark is visible on the neutral fabric liner, and two tiny pins hold an original label in place near the base. The overall dimensions measure 83 cm by 58 cm, with an aperture of 62 cm by 38 cm and a picture rebate of 65 cm by 40 cm. This piece is suitable for hanging above the mantel in a living room, hallway, or study to house a favourite canvas, print, or mirror.

FAQs

A traditional gilt frame is constructed from carved wood, often covered with a layer of gesso, and finished using gold leaf or gilding lacquer to create a reflective surface designed to complement visual art.

These frames are constructed using timber mouldings, gesso, metal leaf, and a fabric-lined wooden inner slip, frequently made from neutral linen or cotton, alongside a brass nameplate.

Authentic pieces feature signs of hand-carved joinery on the reverse, layers of clay bole beneath exposed gold leaf, subtle oxidisation, and age-related wear to the inner fabric slip.

Positioning an ornate gilt frame against a modern wall finish or pairing it with contemporary artwork creates a structured contrast between historical craftsmanship and current design aesthetics.

Dust the frame surface gently using a dry, soft brush; avoid using water, chemical solvents, or abrasive cloths, as moisture and pressure can strip or degrade delicate gold leaf.
