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.
