Late 19th C. American gold leaf, applied ornament frame in the Louis XIV style

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 foliate sight edge with a flat frieze rising in an ogee profile with curling leaves, flowers and C-scrolls on a textured background. The imposing extended corners have large beaded C-scrolls at either side with curling leaves and fanned leaves in the centers. Cove sides with lozenge shapes at the back edge. Original gilding.
