Late 19th C. European gold leaf and applied ornament 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 many narrow cove and flat bands with a row of beads in the interior rising in a convex profile with circling tendrils between castle towers in diamond shapes with acanthus leaf corners. The top edge is leaves and berries with crossed ribbon centers and corner straps. Cove sides with two narrow bands of beads and a twist. Original gold leaf.
