Big frame



This big antique frame (late 19th/early 20th Century) is a new stock frame, and arrived today. It is a traditional neoclassical cove frame, the main ornament is a laurel leaf and berry pattern. The original water gilding has been over painted at some point, this later applied paint has oxidised and turned a bronze/brown colour, although the original gilding is visible in places. The paint can be removed and the frame restored, it will be used as a mirror, or it could be cut down to fit a painting.
