Painting Frames "Mythia" |
| • Serie: Triest • Width: 30mm • Height: 19mm |
| The Mythia picture frame combines solid wood with antique white and warm gold. Measuring 30 mm wide and 19 mm high, it has a noticeable presence without making the picture look heavy. Its profile is delicately tiered: a gold-coloured inner edge rises gently towards the picture, followed by a slightly recessed, antique white ornamental band, which is bordered on the outside by a narrow golden curve. This sequence gently draws the eye inwards. We particularly like the regular leaf frieze. The stylised leaves are reminiscent of palmettes and acanthus motifs, as adopted from ancient architectural ornamentation into Classicism. On frames, furniture and wall decorations, such continuous friezes served to rhythmically structure surfaces. Here, the pattern almost resembles a delicate leafy tendril. The patinated antique finish makes the recesses appear darker, whilst gold on the raised areas catches the light. As a result, Mythia changes depending on the time of day and brings a warm, cosy touch to the room. We particularly recommend it for botanical illustrations or finely painted portraits. It looks its best in our collection when the picture incorporates muted shades of green, cream or earth tones and leaves a little space for its ornamental flow. |
