Early 19th C. American gold leaf frame in the Thomas Cole style with applied ornament

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 broad convex profile with an intricate array of leaves, flowers and straps over a crosshatched background. The centers are circular medallions surrounded by fanned leaves and C-scrolls. The corners have the same motifs with an extended leaf tip at the outer corner. Original gilding. The frame originally had a liner which is missing.
