About the Item

A spectacular and monumental early 18th Century Austrian carved frame. Almost certainly originally made as an ecclesiastical or architectural surround for an altarpiece, large painting or mirror. Of impressive scale, the rectangular aperture is framed by deep pierced scrolling foliage and bold Baroque ornament, centred with decorative medallion roundels to the crest and apron. Retaining a wonderfully timeworn surface with traces of earlier finish and attractive wear throughout. An exceptional statement piece—ideal as a dramatic mirror frame or to surround a large artwork within a grand interior. Circa 1720.

Frame, Wood, Late 17th-Early 18th Century

Framework. Carved wood, late 17th-early 18th century. Rectangular frame that presents a "base structure" of straight lines, combining moldings of different widths and finishes (inside, a golden band with Fine plant details towards the corners; then a thin red one, and a wider green one, these two the latter imitating marble; outside, another fine gilt molding), enhanced with a series of carvings of vegetal elements in the corners (symmetrical composition), two ovoid elements on the long sides and a highly elaborate cresting with vegetal elements, rockeries, scrolls, flowers and imitation of fabrics (which are joined with those ovoid elements mentioned). The combination of red, green and gold is common in certain types of frames (compare, for example, with the terracotta of Salamanca made around the middle of the 16th century by Juan de Juni, which is kept in the Victoria and Albert Museum). On it, a series of carvings with a lot of movement and depth have been added, showing Baroque influence (reminiscent in certain details of works such as the frame of the Immaculate Conception by Alonso Cano...
