This is a classic example of a carved and gilded, English 18th Century Carlo Maratta frame. It has come in for some minor repairs, and to have a sight edge slip fitted. It was cut down sometime in the past, luckily it is a good fit for the customers painting, although needs a very narrow slip to cover some rough edges around the canvas. A Maratta frame of this size (rebate 25" x 30") could cost anywhere between £1000 and £1500
