About the Item
An Exceptional Gilt Frame with Historic Provenance
This 1860s American Hudson River School frame is a remarkable artifact in its own right, enriched by its association with one of the most prestigious frame collections in the world. Hand-carved and gilded, it features a refined neoclassical profile with beading, subtle corner ornaments, and a beautifully aged gold patina. This is more than a frame — it’s a piece of American art history.
Physical & Stylistic Details
Measuring 20 x 17 inches overall with a rabbet size of 13 x 9.75 inches and a sight size of 11.5 x 8.5 inches, this frame has a bold profile with a depth of 3.5 inches, offering impressive dimensionality for smaller artworks. The frame’s design exemplifies the Hudson River School aesthetic, complementing 19th-century landscape painting with its balance of grandeur and restraint. It is ideal for collectors or institutions seeking to restore period accuracy to historic artworks.
Provenance and Historical Significance
This frame hails from the renowned Historic Period Frame Collection assembled by Eli Wilner — a gallery and expert known for their contributions to the White House and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Wilner’s workshop famously recreated the monumental frame for Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware, now housed at The Met. Pieces from this collection have adorned works by American masters and graced the walls of the White House, making this frame a rare and museum-worthy acquisition.
