Frame. Carved and gilded wood. 18th century. A rectangular frame made of carved and gilded wood, combining a thin, smooth band on the inside with another carved band and a third, on the outside, in which smooth areas are combined with delicate vegetal details (these in the same finish as the rest of the molding, highlighted against a striped background). Currently, the value and appreciation of frames are on the rise due to their demand by important museums and institutions, who seek to restore artworks to their original frames. This explains why similar examples can be found in some of Vermeer's paintings, for instance, or in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Louvre Museum, the British Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, among others.
