An attractive antique French picture frame featuring richly detailed gilt gesso decoration with scrolling foliage, floral motifs and raised corner embellishments.

The frame retains its original easel support to the rear and displays a beautifully aged patina that highlights the depth and character of the decorative moulding.

Crafted in the traditional French style, the frame showcases the highly ornamental designs popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drawing inspiration from Rococo and Louis XV decorative arts.

The intricate floral and foliate ornamentation creates an elegant setting for photographs, miniature artworks or cabinet displays.

The reverse retains decorative marbled paper covering and a folding easel stand, allowing the frame to be displayed on a table, desk, mantelpiece or cabinet.

Equally appealing as a decorative object in its own right, the frame lends character to both traditional and contemporary interiors.
