This is a quality antique wooden gold leaf frame. It has some ware which adds to its history and uniqueness. It could be left as it is or restored to its original state. I do not know the man the picture. Looks likely to be an Italian government official, may be a constable. Could easily be converted to be a mirror. I opened the bad to check for names or dates and did not find either. See pictures for condition. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am not an art or antique dealer but I will do my best. Weight is 3 lbs.
