Bologneser Blattrahmen (Bolognese style leaf frame)

This gilt frame, inspired by the 17th-century Bolognese style frame design, has been carefully handcarved from poplar wood with leaf motifs. A strip has been left apparent on the interior opening of the frame while richly carved leaves and floral patterns are shaped sloping outwards in a symmetrical arrangement. Intertwined foliage accentuates corners and the centrepiece.
