Louis XIV style Ovolo frame — Unknown

Although its style is early Louis XIV, the way this frame is carved recalles the plaster frames made for the Barbizon school painters between about 1850 and 1870 (see 1975.1.2040). The ornament has the appearance of being cast, and the gilding has a reddish tone.
