Italian 19th Century Giltwood Frame with Carved Foliage and Rais-de-Cœur

About the Item

An Italian giltwood frame from the 19th century with carved foliage frieze and rais-de-cœur motifs. Hailing from the 19th century, this Italian giltwood frame is a testament to the era's affinity for ornate and elaborate details. The frame's lavish gold leaf finish, now mellowed with time, provides a rich backdrop for the intricately carved foliage frieze that adorns its border. Each leaf and tendril is rendered with precision, bringing a three-dimensional vitality to the frame's perimeter. Adding to the classic allure, rais-de-cœur motifs—a symbol of love and devotion—grace the inner edge, their heart-shaped scrolls imparting a romantic touch. As a standalone piece, this giltwood frame can become a focal point in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, perhaps leaning on a mantelpiece or anchoring a gallery wall. It can also serve as a prestigious housing for a cherished portrait, mirror, or artwork, elevating the display to a work of art in its own right. The frame's versatility allows it to blend seamlessly with both traditional and contemporary decor, infusing a sense of historical grandeur into the modern home. It is an exquisite find for collectors and interior designers seeking to add a stroke of Italian elegance to their curated spaces.
