Late 19th C. American gold metal leaf fluted cove frame with applied ornament and reeded top edge

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 with a broader flat surrounded by beads and raised edge. The fluted cove rises to the reeded top edge. The sides are a plain ogee profile with a wider cove below and beads on the back edge. The present corner ornament in the cove and top edge appears to have been applied over the originals and the gold metal leaf over original gold leaf.
