The Tuscan region of Italy influenced the design of this classic 16th-century Cassetta frame. Gilded in 22k gold and uniquely finished to create an aged appearance, this cassette elegantly embodies the style and grace of vintage Italian style.

Italian Design Origin:

In Italy, the church heavily influenced both architecture and interior design during the 15th-17th centuries. This period inspired important artists such as Boticelli, da Vinci, Michelangelo and Canaletto and continues to influence artists today.

The opulence and dramatic display of ornamentation from this influential time is beautifully captured in this Italian style frames and reflect some of the most authentic characteristics of classic Italian style – from genuine gold water gilded accents to decorative techniques including sgraffito, pastiglia and carved ornamentation.
