Late 19th C. Italian gold leaf cove frame with carved and 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 two flat liners with a narrow row of beads below a narrow raised band. The broad cove has a stippled texture rising up to a carved ribbon and stick motif below a carved curling ribbon interspaced with small balls at the top edge. Cove sides with a stylized carved ribbon band at the back edge. Original gilding obscured by gold paint.
