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

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

Clear opening 93 x 142 cm - Rebate 96 x 145 cm - Overall 108 x 157 cm.

Lacquered and painted wood throughout.

The frame is entirely decorated with a faux red marble finish, achieved through a painted technique simulating the veining and mottling typical of antique red marbles. The marbling technique, widespread in Italy throughout the Baroque among both framemakers and interior decorators, allowed refined visual effects to be achieved at moderate cost, and was extensively applied to frames, boiseries and furnishings. The colour range, combining tones of red, beige and black, gives the frame a strong decorative presence.

Condition report: Generally good state of preservation. The surface shows minor losses and wear to the painted layer consistent with the age of the piece.
