Mid 19th C. American gold leaf and applied ornament fluted 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 burnished cove with fluting and elongated leaves in the corners rising with a plain ogee band to a narrow top edge with overlapping leaves and corner straps with extending “wings”. The sides drop in a narrow ogee then broad cove to a half round motif at the back edge. Original gilding. Missing liner.
