Late 19th C. American gold leaf frame in the Rococo style with crest

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 applied ornament frame has a beveled liner with gadrooning, small beads and a narrow cove leading up to a curling ribbon and stick motif. The main frame has swept sides with floral and curling leaf motifs over a finely reeded background. The corners and top crest have flowers and leaves between the the ends of curling tendrils. Original gilding.
