Carved And Gilded Wood Frame With Pastiglia Reliefs. Italy, Late 19th Century.

Carved and gilded wood frame with pastiglia reliefs. Italy, late 19th century.

Clear opening 48 x 59 cm - Rebate 51 x 62 cm - Overall 74 x 84 cm.

Carved and gilded wood throughout with pastiglia reliefs.

The frame features a profile articulated across several mouldings: the outer band is decorated with continuous vegetal motifs, the intermediate band with acanthus leaves, both alternating with narrow bead mouldings. The inner cavetto, plain and broad, connects the decorated profile to the rebate. The pastiglia reliefs, a technique widely used in 19th century Italian frame production, allow for fine and repeatable plastic rendering of decorative motifs. The gilding retains its warm tonality with a uniform patina of ageing.

Condition report: Generally good state of preservation. Minor losses to the pastiglia and wear to the gilding are present, consistent with the age of the piece.
