"Oval Frame With Gilded Gouache, 17th Century"
Oval frame with gilded gouache, 17th century
Elegant oval frame in carved wood with gilded gouache, dating back to the 17th century. The wavy profile features refined decoration with pods and phytomorphic motifs along the inner edge, embellished with warm, luminous gilding that retains a pleasant patina of age.
The gilding technique—which involves applying gold leaf to red bole and then polishing it with agate stone—gives the surface soft, deep reflections, typical of 17th-century Italian production.
An example of great formal balance, ideal for contemporary paintings or portraits, but also as a classic piece of furniture.
