18th C. European carved and gold leaf cove frame with arched inset

Available from Atelier Richard Boerth when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

This carved frame has an arched inset with a foliate motif at the sight edge and spandrels. The frame rises in a cove with volutes and leaves including floral sprays at the top edge between leafy corner cartouches. Deep coves on the sides with a row of beads at the back edge. Original gilding.
