<p>

Polychrome & Gilded-Architectural Appeal

<p>
This marvelous 18th C. Italian frame is beautifully carved. Accented with a deep blue polychrome highlighted in golden gilt, the 8-sided frame has tremendous decorative appeal. This piece was likely a ceiling mounted piece, a frame that served to hold a canopy or bedding drape. Suspended above a bed and strewn with flowing draperies, the effect would be stunning. The frames deep profile would also make a stunning architectural feature, defining a niche or set with shelves. The piece is also a marvelous object to use as a frame, set with old mirror or used for a shadowbox presentation; the frame would be a stunning decorative element.

<p>

Crafted in the traditional manner, the frame is carved in wood, covered in a gesso slip and accented with polychrome and gilt. The form allows the frame to be used vertically or hung horizontally depending on the desired effect. The frame is in wonderful condition for a piece of this age. Expectedly there are small chips, cracks and signs of age and gentle wear. Original mounting holes appear in the frame for a ceiling installation, or you may choose to add hook to the back if you wish to use the piece as a picture or mirror frame.


<p>

The frame measures approximately: 33.5" x 29.5" (outside dimensions).

<p>

Approximate inside dimensions: 25.5" x 21" x 5.75" deep.
