Antique burl walnut frame, cushion molded veneer picture frame, broad ovolo molding.
This is an outstanding and rare example of a Louis XV antique picture frame in it’s original condition. The back of this handmade frame shows a distinctive construction of corner splines or slats. There are minor cracks throughout the delicate veneer, which is to be expected at this age.
Burl is a very peculiar and highly figured wood, prized for its beauty and rarity. It is sliced into veneers, and in this case, is used for this beautiful picture frame. Burl wood is very hard to work with because its grain is twisted, causing it to chip and shatter unpredictably.
Frame inner size: 20 ¾” x 17 ½” Outer size: 24 ½” x 21 ½” Depth: 1”.
Condition:There are minor cracks throughout the delicate veneer, which is to be expected at this age.
