Mid 19th C. American applied ornament, gold leaf 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 a fluted cove with acanthus leaves at the corners rising to the top edge with a crisscrossed design between two narrow fillets. Cove sides with a small plait motif at the back edge. Bronzed finish over original gilding. Missing liner.
