Late 19th C. American gilded frame with tiered 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 a liner with a diamond and flower motif with a raised leaf and bead edge. The main frame rises in a cove to a flat frieze with half flowers and leaves, a flat step and a steep cove overlaid with acanthus leaves up and over the top edge. Acanthus leaf corners, cove sides and flat plain back edge. Original gold leaf and gold metal leaf with gold overpaint.
