Mid 19th C. American gold leaf spotted cove frame with applied ornament

Available from Atelier Richard Boerth when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

This frame has a flat liner with a narrow leaf design on a step and a raised reeded surround. The cove has a stenciled spotted motif rising to a broad convex top edge with overlaid, crossed straps at the centers. Large extended corners with leaves, volutes, a large central flower and Greek keys terminating in anthemions above. Cove sides with a narrow bead and strap on the back edge. Gold paint over the original finish.
