17th Century Guilloche Frame in Ebonized Finish Wood

About the Item

17th century Guilloche frame in ebonized finish Wood, cm 89 x 79 Referable to the seventeenth century, the ebonized frame examined has a carving called guilloché, whose band looks like a succession of smooth gorges alternating with bands carved with continuous waves. This particular ornamental processing refers, specifically, to wooden or metal surfaces, made using specific tools called "guillocher", which allow you to create a repetitive design of engraved lines, linear or wavy (as in this frame). They are composed of strips, whose profile varies in vertical or horizontal direction with a repetitive pattern of wavy or flame lines and sometimes with a combination of both. These frames made their appearance in the early Baroque, when the rigorous figures of classicism began to bend to freer forms: the flat sides of the furniture began to become curved, potbelly, arched, the frames to break and to recompose in mixed forms, often wavy or flamed. The years are those of the first half of the seventeenth century, where these wave strips were widely used in furniture, in cabinets, in coins or as picture frames. Equipped with a wide variety of designs, they were often made of ebony wood or other types of compact wood stained black, sometimes gilded. They could also be found in combination with other valuable materials, such as tortoise, ivory, semi-precious stones and metals. This type of frame in ebony wood worked with this particular technique, was variously used throughout the seventeenth century, as well as to decorate furniture, also to frame paintings and mirrors. Often described in the inventories of the first half of the seventeenth century, these frames were usually carved by Nordic artisans (German or Flemish) in the service of the Italian courts. Guilloché frames adorned, for example, the jeweled cabinet of the Tribune of the Uffizi and are still found as an ornament of the kneeler and the cabinet of Augusta of the Silver Museum, executed by the first quarter of the seventeenth century.

The departure of Christ is evident from the lowered head, from the open hands...

17th century Christ in chains Oil on canvas, 95 x 71 cm Frame 110 x 84 cm The figurative tradition representing Christ with chained hands can be traced back to the early Middle Ages, when an iconography of His pains spread widely. The need to translate the Passion into images aimed to raise awareness of the forgiveness that has occurred for all men, consequent to the Crucifixion. This painting depicts the moment before the audience before Pilate. Christ has not yet been cruelly mocked by the soldiers, despite the fact that he is already wearing the crown of thorns and the purple...

Frame, Wood, Late 17th-Early 18th Century

Located in Madrid, ES

Framework. Carved wood, late 17th-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a "base structure" of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (inside, a golden band with Fine plant details towards the corners; then a thin red one, and a wider green one, these two the latter imitating marble; outside, another fine gilt molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of vegetal elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the long sides and a highly elaborate cresting with vegetal elements, rockeries, scrolls, flowers and imitation of fabrics (which are joined with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, with the terracotta of Salamanca made around the middle of the 16th century by Juan de Juni, which is kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum). On it, a series of carvings with a lot of movement and depth have been added, showing Baroque influence (reminiscent in certain details of works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano...
