Large Florentine Rococo Gilded Wooden Frame, Mid-18th Century

Large Florentine frame in Rococo or Barocchetto style, carved and gilded wood, mid-18th century.
Florentine frames from the mid-18th century reflect the transition from the opulence of the mature Baroque to more graceful and linear forms, while retaining the exceptional mastery of gilded wood carving typical of the Tuscan tradition. Abandoning the rigidity of the box profile, the basic structure evolves toward more fluid lines, with broad contours that facilitate the play of light and shadow. The surface is often dominated by rich motifs of volutes, acanthus leaves, racemes, shells, and floral patterns radiating from the centers and corners. Florentine carvers create openwork carvings and layer relief elements that lend a three-dimensional quality to the piece.
Very good condition, original gold leaf gilding well preserved, minor signs of age.
