Exceptional Antique French Louis XV Bronze D’ Ore Desktop Picture Frame, of the very finest quality. This French beauty dates to the 1800’s, and has been beautifully restored to its former glory. Behind the glass, the oval photo opening is backed with cream moiree silk. The heavy antique frame is embellished with floral designs, the top is crowned with a flowing French ribbon bow, so indicative of the era.
The back has been re-done by a fine craftsman because the original wood and metal stand no longer supported the weight of this heavy quality frame, a black moiree fabric has been substituted so that it will look its best for at least one more century. A rare find from France, frames like this are getting more difficult to find in any kind of condition. Please remember this is an antique frame, although it has been restored and polished by a jewelry quality craftsman, there may be small uneven areas here and there in the gilt finish.
