Late 19th C. American, applied ornament and gilded cove 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 delicate leaf tip design at the sight edge with a beveled frieze rising to a row of beads. The cove has acanthus leaves rising to a leaf and berry top edge with crossed ribbons at the centers and corner straps. Cove sides with a meander detail at the back edge. Original gold metal leaf finsih with some bronze paint.
