Late 19th C. American gold leaf and applied ornament Barbizon frame

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 and a band of acanthus leaves followed by an inset cove. The main frame has a flattened, curved profile with broad acanthus leaves alternating with stylized shells set in C-scrolls. Cove sides with trifoil and leaf design at the back edge. Original gilding with some bronze overpaint.
