Late 19th C. American applied ornament and gilded smooth 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 liner rising in a step to a narrow reeded outer edge. The main frame rises in a smooth cove and a narrow ogee band to the reeded top edge with crossed corner straps. The sides are a narrow plain ogee band above a cove and narrow ornamented band at the back edge. Original gilding unknown. Gold overpaint.
