A late 19th-century French frame with a bead-and-reel sight moulding, a twisted-rope moulding and beautifully detailed corner rosettes. Refined decorative elements lend the frame a quiet elegance without sacrificing character.
An unusual feature of this frame is the maker’s use of a knotted piece of timber. Over time, this has caused a slight bowing, making the frame better suited to a canvas than to a glazed work.

This gilded oak frame has such a compelling provenance. Made by the Autotype Company between 1883 and 1905, to house a fine art print of the famous work “A Child's Portrait in Different Views: 'Angel's Heads’", by Sir Joshua Reynolds, it has a stained oak frieze and gilt reeded sight edge.
In 1906, it fell into the hands of our esteemed expatriate painter Frances Hodgkins, who replaced the print with a work of her own, and made appropriate corrections to the name plate on the reverse. What a wonderful history!
