18th C. Italian carved, gold leaf cove “Salvator Rosa” 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 row of carved leaf tips at the sight edge below a narrow flat and the plain cove the rises to a carved twisted ribbon below a steep, curved top edge. A broad, shallow cove above a plain flat form the sides. Original gilding. This style of frame is named after the 17th C. artist Salvator Rosa.
