Original 19th Century European Style Deep Giltwood & Gesso Fluted Hollow Antique Picture Frame 1

Type of Item: Original Antique Gilt Picture Frame

Title: Decorative Gilt Gesso Picture Frame with Acanthus Leaf and Beaded Detail

Date: Circa 1890–1910

Material: Timber frame with moulded composition/gesso decoration and gilt finish. Glazed.

Details:

A very attractive late Victorian / Edwardian gilt picture frame, richly decorated with classical acanthus-leaf corner ornament, fluted moulding, beaded borders and repeating foliate detail.

The deep stepped construction gives the frame considerable depth and presence, while the aged gilt surface has developed an appealing warm antique tone.

The reverse retains its old timber construction, backing paper remnants, nails and hanging cord, all consistent with considerable age.

A particularly decorative period frame which would work beautifully with a small oil painting, portrait, miniature, drawing or other period artwork.

Condition:

Good antique condition overall with wear consistent with age. There are areas of cracking and small losses to the applied gesso/composition decoration, particularly around some of the inner corners and mouldings. The gilt surface has general rubbing, marks and age-related wear. The glass also shows some surface marks.

Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.

Measurements:

Overall frame: 33 x 29 x 6 cm

Visible aperture: 14 x 10 cm
