Late 19th C. German gold leaf and applied ornament frame in the Louis XV style

Available from Atelier Richard Boerth when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

This frame has a sloped liner with a narrow band of ornament and a sanded frieze. Swept flat top edge between extended corners and centers with volutes and curling leaves. Large cross hatching on the cove with flowers and leaves extending out from the corners. Cove sides with a delicate leaf motif at the back edge. Original gilding.
