Bologna, late 17th century

MONUMENTAL FRAME

Carved, sculpted and gilt wood.

 

The extraordinary dimensions and highly refined craftsmanship of this impressive Baroque frame indicate that it probably decorated one of the most important palazzos in Bologna.

Crossing bands with bellflower motifs, three-dimensional sculpted details with ample acanthus scrolls with a specular ascendant development from the two sides to the point where they meet in a large cymatium with a leafy centrepiece.

The extraordinary dimensions and the very refined craftsmanship of this impressive Baroque frame allow one to imagine a placement in a Bolognese palazzo of first-rate importance.

Crossing bands with a motif of bellflowers, three-dimensional sculpted elements with ample acanthus scrolls with a mirror-wise ascendant development from the two sides to the poin of meeting in the large cymatium with a leafy ornamental centrepiece.
