Late 19th C. American gold leaf and applied ornament reverse profile 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 step to a flat band topped with large beads rising to the top edge with leaves and beaded ribbons curling around a stick. Large acanthus leaves and other foliate elements cascade down over a rounded profile to a flat and beveled back edge. Original gilding.
