Antique oval picture frame decorations
This antique oval picture frame is decorated in the Roman Baroque style, inspired by traditional Salvator Rosa and Carlo Maratta frames.
Its profile combines concave and convex moldings with three decorative bands. Four ornamental elements follow the oval shape, creating a balanced and elegant composition.
The decorations are primarily made from wood pulp, carefully applied to the wooden structure and refined by hand with traditional carving tools after drying.
This technique allows us to reproduce elaborate historical ornaments while reducing the working time compared with carving every detail directly from solid wood.
Follow the link below to see an example of our wood pulp carving technique, demonstrated on a different frame model (Cod. 04).

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.
