PHOTO FRAME IN LOUIS XVI STYLE. RENATO SALIMBENI ITALY, FLORENCE, 20TH CENTURY

A rare three-part photo frame made of gilt silver, featuring a vivid decorative accent — translucent red enamel over an exquisite guilloché background. Inspired by the Louis XVI style, the frames composition is built around a central laurel wreath, complemented by ornamental ribbons, bows, and stylised foliage. The oval and round apertures on the panels are emphasised by a braided border, while the intricate relief creates a refined sense of symmetry. The architectural form and decorative design refer to late 18th-century French Neoclassicism. The reverse is lined with red silk, highlighting the finesse of execution and museum-level quality of the object.
