{"product_id":"antique-english-oval-gilded-wood-frame-bow","title":"Antique English Oval Gilded Wood Frame Ribbon Bow Crest","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"506\" data-start=\"122\"\u003eAn elegant antique English oval frame with a neoclassical ribbon bow crest and a warm gilded finish that gives it a polished, quietly decorative presence. The oval shape, bead detailing, and ribbon motif reflect the late Victorian to Edwardian taste for Louis XVI Revival design, a look that remained popular for portraits, prints, and sentimental works on paper in British interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1085\" data-start=\"508\"\u003eThis example retains its glass and gold mat under the glass, which gives it a complete, ready-to-use look and makes it especially appealing for display. The reverse retains a Grindley \u0026amp; Palmer, Liverpool trade label, which helps place the frame in an English retail and framing context. The proportions are especially useful for an oval portrait, silhouette, print, or decorative textile fragment. It has enough ornament to stand out on a wall, but the design is still restrained enough to work in traditional, English country, French-inspired, and layered collected interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1334\" data-start=\"1087\"\u003eThe ribbon bow at the top is the visual focal point and the detail that gives this frame its personality. Frames like this are often purchased as much for their sculptural quality as for their function. Even empty, it reads as a decorative object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e England\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeriod:\u003c\/b\u003e Late Victorian to Edwardian, circa 1890 to 1915\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Gilded wood frame with glass and gold mat\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eShape:\u003c\/b\u003e Oval\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eExterior Measurements:\u003c\/b\u003e 18\" H x 13.75\" W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterior Measurements:\u003c\/b\u003e 15\" H x 12\" W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLabel:\u003c\/b\u003e Grindley \u0026amp; Palmer, Liverpool trade label to reverse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1970\" data-start=\"1519\"\u003eThis antique frame is in good decorative condition overall with light age-appropriate surface wear, minor rubbing to the gilded finish, and expected wear to the reverse.
