This is a picture frame of lovely quality - hand made in Florence from the workshops of Giovanni Baccani - marked with a small label on the back with the letters GB.

All hand made, the wooden frame is finished in gold leaf - the beautiful caligraphy in the frame details how it is made. 

It is designed for a photo size 5 by 7 inches and the outer frame overall measures  a little over 6 by 8 inches.  It is glazed.

There are some small signs of wear and faint loss of gilding which could be touched up if needed but it is in overall good condition. 

The back is covered with a fleur de lys design paper, and it has a pull out stand piece. There is no fitting for wall mounting or hanging. 

This company still makes lovely frames and other items from their workshop in Florence, and are expensive pieces - antiques of the future!

Any questions at all please do ask and thanks for looking :)
