About the Item

Elegant Venetian frame from the Louis XV period, dating from around 1750. Made of carved wood, it features fine decoration with rocaille motifs and leaf cartouches at the corners and along the sides, executed with great care and decorative sensitivity. The frame is lacquered and gilded, probably with an antique finish, although it is not possible to confirm that it is the original period lacquer. Time has given the surface a fascinating craquelure (creplè), typical of gouache gilding on gesso preparation. Good overall state of preservation: the structure is solid and intact, with slight surface falls consistent with the age of the object. Outer dimensions: 81 × 103 cmInner light: 61.5 × 80.5 cmSuitable for framing 18th-century paintings, especially religious subjects or portraits. Venice provenance. For more information or pictures, please feel free to contact us. Worldwide shipping possible.

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...
