19th C. European gold leaf and applied ornament, Empire style 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 beveled sight edge, lambs tongue and a flat frieze below a row of beads and a raised flat bans. The steep cove has leaves regularly spaced around with acanthus leaves at the corners. The top edge has an overlapping leaf design. The sides are shallow curves with a row of beads at the back edge. Original gilding.
