About the Item
Monumental late 18th century French Giltwood Frame
France; ca. 1800
Giltwood
Approximate size: 52 (h) x 48 (w) x 5 (d) in.
This statement frame was beautifully conceived at the height of the French Louis XVI period. Its ostentatious accomplishment in both relief and sculptural form are testimony to a masterful production of French late Baroque elegance.
The frame’s upper register features an exquisite arched tympanum with a baldachin bearing a sumptuously textured and patterned swag revealing a cartouche depicting a bloomed and centered tulip in relief. The cartouche is flanked by putto, carved-in-the-round, and accomplished by a talented hand or workshop.
The top of the frame is flanked by a pair of sculpted lions inspired by those executed by Antonio Canova for Pope Clement XIII’s tomb in 1792. The lions, respectively dubbed The Sleeping and The Watching, indicates an awareness of Italian traditions in both the realization of the lions on this mirror as well as in the naturalism of the flanking putto in the mirror’s tympanum, altogether certainly due to influence of the blended traditions born from the School of Fontainebleau.
This exceptional frame is an absolute statement piece for a prestigious home or institution.
Condition commensurate with age. Various nicks, chips and losses to the gilding, particularly along exposed edges and corners. A full condition report and additional photos are available upon request.
