About the Item

A magnificent Baroque gilded stucco frame from Sweden, crafted around 1750. The frame features central cartouches with notable heraldry: at the top, Sweden's "Tre Kronor" (Three Crowns) emblem, and at the bottom, the monogram "AF" for Adolf Frederick of Sweden (1710, Gottorf – 1771, Stockholm). An inscription on the reverse, signed by gilder Friedrich Gedeuer, dates the gilding to 1753. Its monumental dimensions of 328 x 228 cm and the royal heraldry suggest a courtly context, while the tall rectangular format indicates its original use as a portrait frame. Provenance: From the inventory of a historic framing dynasty in southern Germany.

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...

Frame, Wood, 18th Century
Located in Madrid, ES
Rectangular frame made of carved and gilded wood that combines a smooth thin band inside, with another carved with fajada band and another, to the outside, which combine smooth areas with delicate plant details (these in the same finish as the rest of the molding, highlighted on a striped background). Currently, the value and appreciation of the frames are on the rise due to the search for them by the museums and important institutions, with the aim of giving the works the frames they would have in origin. Hence, similar examples are found in some Vermeer paintings...
