A beautifully aged 17th-century Italian gilt and polychrome frame featuring stepped architectural moldings and hand-painted foliate decoration in red and ochre tones. The frame retains its original surface with a warm, time-softened patina that speaks to centuries of use and handling.
The decorative painted banding and blocky profile are characteristic of Baroque-period Italian design, often found surrounding devotional paintings, portraits, or small icons. A partial paper label on the verso notes an attribution to “Italian, XV century,” suggesting a historical dealer or collector identification.
Wear and scattered losses to the gilding and paint are present throughout, consistent with age. Structurally sound and stable.
An exceptional display piece in its own right or ready to house an artwork, mirror, or textile fragment.
