Frame Chestnut Hand-carved Unique For Diploma or College Border or Fon Mirror
Located in Mombuey, Zamora
It is a unique and very special piece. It is worth framing the diploma in any office or Desk, giving it a special status, far from the commercial framework, no matter how good it is, this is another level. Someone had this frame carved by a very virtuous master craftsman. It is made of chestnut wood and has a very exquisite carving, well carved, with great skill. It still preserves the pencil design of the master craftsman on the back On the back you can also see the mastery of the craftsman who made it. There are 4 parts made in the same piece, the strip and the carving that surrounds it. The mastery demonstrated, not only for aesthetics, but also for the difficulty of carving, chestnut wood being a rather hard wood. perfect finish Carved walnut wood frame with upper pompadour Perfect frame with the perfect size to put the university border or frame your university degree and hang it in your office It is a unique piece, carved by a master cabinetmaker or carver in Spain It is beautiful and its carving is fine, elegant and well made Due to its size and structure, it was surely carved with that intention, that of framing a title or graduation or a college border With a frame like this your title, border or even portrait, will give a distinguished, original and unique professional office touch It is a good opportunity to obtain a unique object, being as it is increasingly difficult to find master cabinetmakers who work with this fineness of wood. This frame with cornucopia carved in wood at the beginning of the 20th century This is not a simple frame, it is a work of art in itself. The perfection of its carvings is only comparable to those of the great carvings that can be seen in the churches and cathedrals of old Europe. These trades are already being lost and there are few cabinetmakers who continue to exercise their trade Louis XV style, late 19th or early 20th century Walnut wood caved...
