Antique Gesso & Wood Frame with Ribbon Crest

Dimensions: 24” tall x 14” wide

A beautifully detailed antique frame crafted from wood and finished in gesso, featuring a classic rectangular form with softly rounded corners. The top is adorned with an elegant ribbon-and-rose crest, adding a refined, romantic touch that feels distinctly European in influence. The inner border is framed with a braided motif, giving the piece depth and visual texture, while the warm gilt tone has mellowed over time into a rich, aged patina.

This frame carries the kind of character only time can create—subtle wear throughout to the gesso and finish, along with visible age to the wood on the reverse, all consistent with its antique nature. It presents beautifully and would be perfect for housing a portrait, mirror plate, or simply styled as a decorative object layered into a vignette.

A timeless piece that brings warmth, history, and a touch of old-world elegance to any space.
