Early 19th C. English gold leaf cove frame with 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 rises in tiers of ornament from a narrow flat sight edge, a row of beads, lamb’s tongue, a flat fillet and acanthus leaves on a small cove. The top edge with a leaf and berry motif, and corner and center straps extends over the yellow ochre cove sides. The original gilding has been re-gilded in the late 19th C.
