'PH Cerisier' Fabricant des Cadres' Bruxelles, was a luxury hand made frame maker crafted at their atelier and shop at 39 Rue des Comediens, Brussels, Belgium at the turn of the 20th century. Clients included artists and wealthy patrons. The remains of a paper label on the back side of the frame allowed me to discover the age and provenance of this hand carved Gilt frame. The following was gleaned from an Ai search:"Ph. CERISIER, 39, Rue des Comédiens, BRUXELLES" described as fabricant de cadres de luxe et ordinaire with services (dorure, encadrement; specialty for frames for paintings, aquarelle, engravings, photography; washing/restoration of engravings; gilding of furniture; repair/restoration; transport; packing; expedition). Source: the full 1903 catalogue text (digital copy)." The frame underwent a fair amount of restoration to bring the frame back to its original beauty including some gesso repair, and the traditional process of water gilding using genuine gold leaf. It's the kind of frame seen in museums with important works of art in them. A true gem. Profile width 4.25" and rabbet dimensions are 26.5" x 41" (this is the size the image or mirror needs to be to fit inside the frame) See less

The original frame was cleaned and preserved without changing the color and only reapplying gold leaf where needed. less
