Louis XIII English 17th Century Carved Frame







A 17th Century carved wood Louis XIII frame.


This is an English Louis XIII bunched leaf hand carved frame (approx made between 1660 to 1710), it is an English version of French Louis XIII frames. Sadly the frame has been re-gilded in metal leaf, in my opinion not very well at all. Personally I think it would be better to completely remove the re-gilding, and either use it in plain wood to see the carving in its natural state, or to re-gild it to a high standard with gold leaf. The condition is of course aged and distressed to reflect the considerable age. There are a few losses to the boldly carved ornament which consists of leaves and acorns. The inner slip is a new addition and in poor condition with several splits and needs to be removed or replaced. A backing support frame or sub-frame has been added at a later date, either to provide support for the old mitre spline joints or to allow the accommodation of painting and glazing.

Sight size: 27 3/8" x 34" or 695mm x 863mm
Sight size with new slip removed: 28 1/2" x 35 1/4" or 724mm x 895mm

18th Century English Carved Frame







An 18th Century Hand Carved and Gilded English Louis XIV/Regence Frame, ref 490

This is an original carved and gilded English frame from the 18th Century, with some losses to the carved wood at three corners, with one being complete and undamaged. Some of the centre ornaments also have some minor areas of damage. The finish is rather dark, although this is mainly gold leaf covered in years of patina, there are some areas of touching up and overpaint. A very nice balance and design to the ornament, and really a lovely genuine antique frame.

A really excellent antique frame which is also a great stock size at 25” x 30”
