Mid 19th C. American fluted cove frame with applied ornament

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 narrow inside edge with flutes and shield shapes at the corners on an ogee profile. The top edge has an overlapping “coin” motif between two narrow bands. A broad cove at the sides with elongated beads entwined in strapping at the back edge. Original gilding. Missing liner.
