This rather nice hand carved fluted cove frame is probably from the late 18th or early 19th Century, I would guess that it is English. It has a very neoclassical or Roman look, a Carlo Maratta style perhaps? with its architectural inspired tongue and dart inner pattern, ribbon twist, and egg and dart outer decoration.
I like looking at the backs of frames as much as the front! Here you can see the mitres are joined with oak splines instead of nails.
