Late 19th C. Italian carved, gold leaf cassetta 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 cove sight edge topped with a carved curling ribbon motif. The sloped frieze has a punched textured background set with carved leaves, C-scrolls and tendrils in the corners. The inward curving gadrooned top edge has small leaves at the corners. Side coves with a plain back edge. Original gilding.
