Early 20th C. American applied ornament and gilded frame in the Louis XIV style with darkened finish

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 plain sight edge with steps up to a cross hatched slightly convex profile with C-scrolls leaves and stylized fleur de lis. The extended corners and centers have curling leaves and C-scrolls with fleur de lis and shell centers. The rounded top edge has leaves curling over it at intervals. Side coves with a narrow band of leaves at the back edge. Original gold metal leaf and bronzed finish.
