Hand-Carved Wood Decorations
The elaborate decorations of this antique wood picture frame are entirely hand-carved from solid limewood, following traditional Bolognese woodcarving techniques.
Unlike smaller decorative ornaments that can be reproduced using wood pulp, the large, deeply carved leaves of this frame require extensive manual work.
The carving process alone can take up to 50 working hours for a medium-sized frame, making this one of our most elaborate and valuable reproductions.
Watch the video below to see master carver Massimiliano Gurrieri at work.

Patina (aging process)
Each frame is individually aged by hand to recreate the patina and natural wear of an antique frame. Small cracks, distressed gilding, and simulated wormholes are intentionally created as part of the aging process.
Watch the video below to discover the different stages of our hand-aging process.
