Mid to late 19th C. French, gold leaf and applied ornament 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 flat sight edge rising to a rais de coeur band, a flat and row of beads below a raised flat. The fluted cove has acanthus leaf corners and a flat top edge with overlapping flowers and circlets between two raised bands. Cove sides with a twist at the back edge. Original gold leaf.
