26 So. Castle St., Edinburgh - Materials
-
The frame is representative of many frames of this type, being built on a wooden chassis and using extensive composition work to build the elaborate Louis XV revival, pierced and scrolled, swept edge form. The taenia is burnish gilding on a red bole. The rest of the surface is matte.
- Condition
-
The raised taenia appears to retain the original surface along with the slip. The rest of the surface of the frame remains ambiguous and may not be original.
