Late 19th C. American applied ornament and gilded ogee 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 liner with a series of steps , a narrow leaf motif, and sanded panel all surrounded by a row of beads. The ogee profile above has elongated crossed straps with arched tops and floral centers. The top edge has laurel leaves and berries between straps at the corners. Cove sides with a row of beads at the back edge. Original gold leaf under a later gold metal leaf layer.
