A beautifully preserved turn-of-the-century gilt composition picture frame, dating to the late Victorian / early Edwardian period (circa 1890–1915). This frame features richly detailed classical scroll and foliate ornamentation with a softly aged gilt finish that has developed an authentic, time-earned patina.
The frame is constructed with original composition molding applied over a wood substrate, typical of high-quality decorative frames from this era. The proportions are balanced and elegant, with a substantial profile that lends visual weight without overwhelming the artwork. This frame most likely originated within the United States but could be English. Fits artwork that is 14 x 17.
