The maker's label is intact on the verso, confirming the French provincial origin of this frame. Constructed in wood with a gesso and gilt finish, this French vintage gold picture frame was made to display paintings and works on paper in the classic style favored in mid-20th century French framing ateliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame features three distinct visual layers. The outermost border carries a cast ornamental motif in gilt, typical of the acanthus-scroll and egg-and-dart vocabulary used in period framing. This is followed by a wide band of deep crimson velvet, which retains its pile and color. A second inner gilt moulding with a repeating scroll pattern borders the glazed aperture. The overall finish is an antique gold tone with deliberate dark patination in the recessed areas. Some minor losses to the gesso are visible at the lower corners, consistent with age and handling. The glass is present and intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame measures 47.5cm x 39.5cm \/ 18.7\" x 15.6\" overall. The aperture size is approximately 30cm x 23cm \/ 11.8\" x 9.1\" based on visible proportions. The moulding width is approximately 8cm \/ 3.1\" on each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frame of this type suits oil paintings, prints, photography or mirrors. The red velvet liner and ornamental gilt moulding place it within the decorative tradition of French salon framing, making it a practical and period-appropriate display choice for collectors and decorators working with 19th or early 20th century art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57861779718488,"sku":"224674449161_ADB2_942A_F97C","price":103.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_24449d6f-c6de-4743-8853-6b1052bccd9e.jpg?v=1785858440","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-vintage-gold-picture-frame-04082610","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
