About the Item
This magnificent Italian Baroque frame, dating from the 1600s, is a testament to the opulent craftsmanship of 17th-century Italy. Intricately carved and gilded with gold leaves, this frame exemplifies the sculptural exuberance characteristic of the Baroque period.
Crafted from antique wood, the frame features a rich array of decorative elements including volutes, scrolls, and the classic egg-and-dart motif. The deep, three-dimensional carving and intricate fretwork showcase the exceptional skill of the artisans who created this piece. Its pillow or cassetta form, typical of the era, adds depth and presence to the frame.
At each corner, a stylized Florentine lily (giglio fiorentino) is beautifully rendered, paying homage to the iconic symbol of Florence. This detail not only anchors the piece to its place of origin but also adds a touch of heraldic elegance to the overall design.
The frame's gilding is truly exceptional. Covered in gold leaf, it has been perfectly preserved, developing a warm, sophisticated patina over the centuries that enhances its antique allure. This patina gives the gold a rich, mellow glow that can only be achieved through time.
Versatile in its application, this frame would be ideal for showcasing an important painting. Its ornate carving is so exquisite that it could also be used to frame a mirror or even displayed on its own as a sculptural work of art. The repeating motifs allow for both vertical and horizontal hanging, with the original antique iron hook still intact for vertical display.
If you're considering using this frame for a painting that may not precisely fit its dimensions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our expert restorers and craftsmen can advise on solutions to perfectly adapt the frame to your needs, including options for incorporating smaller paintings within the frame.
Dimensions:
External: Height 103 cm, Width 93 cm, Depth 7 cm
Internal (sight size): Height 77 cm, Width 62.5 cm
This frame is not just a border for artwork; it's a masterpiece in its own right, embodying the grandeur and artistic sophistication of Baroque Italy. Whether used functionally or as a standalone decorative element, it will undoubtedly become a focal point in any interior, infusing spaces with the opulent yet discreet charm of 17th-century Italian craftsmanship.
