Frame In Carved, Lacquered And Painted Wood With Faux Marble Decoration. Italy, 17th Century.

Frame in carved, lacquered and painted wood with faux marble decoration. Italy, 17th century.

Clear opening 61 x 71 cm - Rebate 64,5 x 74,5 cm - Overall 78 x 88 cm.

Carved, lacquered and painted wood throughout.

The frame is of cassetta form, with a gilded half-leaf rebate opening onto a central band painted to simulate verde alpi marble. The outer profile, carved with fusaroles and beading, completes the composition. The technique of marbling on carved frames is well documented in 17th century Italian production, particularly in the context of Baroque decoration, where the imitation of precious marbles served to achieve scenographic effects at moderate cost.
