Late 19th C. American gold leaf and gold metal leaf applied ornament frame with an arched interior top

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 flat liner surrounded by small beads and a floral motif on the inner arched portion. The steep cove has crisscrossed strapping surrounding small flowers. A laurel leaf and berry top edge with straps at the corners. Broad cove sides with a narrow strap and leaf design at the back edge. Original gilding.
