Very nice American Neoclassical circa 1820's 1830's Thomas Sully type 22k gold leaf portrait frame. The frame has a very nice Classical molding. A nice American portrait would look great in it. This type of molding was favored by the great 19th century American English Artist Thomas Sully for his portraits. The good thing about this frame is it has about 90% of it's original gold leaf. The gold leaf has a very nice mellow color and nice patina where the gold is worn and the red bole shows thru. The is the real thing in the true gold leaf process with a wood frame covered in gesso than red bole and than burnished with 22k gold leaf. The frames does have a few nicks and some touch ups. Other than that the Condition is very good . Dimensions: Outside of frame is 38" by 32 the inside frame is 25" 1/2 by 31" 1/2. The molding is 3" 1/5 wide.
