Late 19th C. American, gold leaf and applied ornament Louis XV style 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, a narrow band of C-scrolls and frieze. The frame rises in a striated cove with cabochons to the flat ribbon like top swept edge connecting the extended, high relief corners and centers with curling leaf tips. Cove sides and leaf tip ornament on the back edge. Original gilding.
