This picture frame exemplifies the flamboyant grace of the Rococo Revival style, drawing heavily upon the ornate curvilinear sensibility of Louis XV design. The heavy wooden frame is richly embellished with elaborate hand-modeled scrollwork, swirling leaves, and raised floral details, all finished in a luminous gold gilt over traditional gesso. The frame measures approximately 18 in. H x 16 in. W x 2 1/8 in. D, with an interior picture opening of approximately 11 1/8 in. H x 9 1/4 in. W, displaying a rich, deep aged patina across both the front and reverse, with expected historic loss to the gilding revealing areas of exposed wood and gesso, as well as general age consistent wear throughout.
