Johann Wilhelm Weinmann Ananas Corona Multiplici 1735-1747 museum quality gold gilt frame from the Aesthetic Movement. This stunning frame features a border trimmed in decadent flourishes of stylized leaves intertwined around golden orbs with a line crossing through them. The background of this layer is a series of constantly repeating vertical lines. The next layer is a deep slopping layer that is decorated in regal leaf motifs, triangles, tulip blossoms, and three dimensional pointed diamonds all against a background of fine dots. There is then a simple slopping wood layer surrounded by an angled greek key motif. This frame features an antique botanical print that resembles some fascinating fusion of an artichoke and a pineapple labeled in latin Ananas Corona Multiplicity. This stunning frame measures 20" by 16.5" by 3" deep. It fits an art piece 12.5" by 9" whether you choose to keep the print in this frame or exchange it for a lovely drawing, etching, or painting. An oil painting would be especially lovely with the lustrous surface of the paint enhanced by the subtle shine of the gold gilding. The piece is in stunning condition with no structural damage or weakness.
