Pair Of 19th-Century Italian Faux Marble Frames -11¾"

This exquisite pair of small faux marble frames hails from 19th-century Marche, a region along Italy’s Adriatic coast celebrated for its artistic heritage and fine craftsmanship. Each frame is a study in subtle sophistication, featuring a beautifully hand-painted faux marble surround that captures the dynamic veining and tonal depth of genuine stone. This decorative technique, once favored for its ability to evoke luxury without the weight or cost of marble, is executed here with remarkable finesse. The softly gilded edges are aged to perfection, their timeworn finish imbuing the frames with a sense of quiet nostalgia and lived-in elegance. The gentle patina and occasional wear along the gilded surfaces speak to decades of history, adding visual depth and a poetic charm that new finishes simply cannot replicate. Delightfully versatile, these frames are perfect for displaying treasured drawings, cherished pictures, or small mirrors. Whether placed in a refined salon or a rustic country house, they carry a quiet poetry while embodying the enduring appeal of Italian design.
