Late 19th C. American applied ornament and gilded fluted cove 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 flat liner with a row of beads on a raised fillet. The ogee cove with corner leaves rises to a prominent leaf and berry top with crossed ribbons at the centers and strap corners. Cove sides with a narrow foliate back edge. Bronze paint over the original gilding.
