Late 19th C. American gold leaf, applied ornament 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 flat liner with a narrow lambs tongue design between two flat bands. The broad flat frieze is decorated with a delicate array of leaves, flowers and berries. The top edge has a leaf and berry motif above two small coves and flat sides on the outside edge. Original gilding with bronze paint on the outside portion.
