Massive 19th Century Dutch Frame with Mirror from the Art Institute of Chicago

About the Item

This massive 19th-century Dutch carved wood and ebonized frame is a true statement piece, showcasing an extraordinary range of carving techniques. From an intricate basketweave pattern to a swirling wave motif, every detail is masterfully executed, lending the frame a sense of movement and depth. Designed in the style of the grand, architectural frames that once housed 16th- and 17th-century Dutch Masters' still-life paintings, it exudes the same richness and gravitas that defined the Golden Age of Dutch art. Now fitted with a heavy beveled glass mirror, it brings that sense of history and craftsmanship into a new context. What makes this mirror even more remarkable is its provenance—it once framed a painting in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, as evidenced by the original museum sticker still affixed to the back. Whether placed above a mantel, in an entryway, or as a dramatic focal point, this piece adds instant character, sophistication, and a touch of Old World grandeur to any space.
