18th-century Venetian Frame Made Of Mercury-gilded Wood With A Cornice
An absolute masterpiece of fine cabinetmaking, miraculously preserved over time.
Among my exclusive art offerings, this splendid and remarkable frame stands out—finely carved and gilded with mercury, a true gem dating back to early 18th-century Italy. What makes this piece a true rarity for collectors is its extraordinary original patina, which preserves its precious history intact.
The ornamental richness is superb: the interior is punctuated by elegant button motifs, embellished at the corners with delicate floral details. The edges feature large, majestic crest carvings, enriched by sumptuous floral garlands that lend the piece a regal and dramatic air, typical of Venetian Baroque splendor.
Its monumental proportions and the impressive width of the band make it a standalone work of art, ready to dominate an exclusive wall:
External dimensions: h. 127 cm × width 108 cm
Internal clear dimensions: H. 82 cm × W. 61 cm
Band width: a full 24 cm of pure carving
A unique investment opportunity to acquire a piece of history of inestimable charm.
