Frame 1870 - 1900

This elaborately carved wooden frame, created between 1870 and 1900 by Stanford White, is a striking example of late 19th-century American design. The frame's intricate details, including the twisted columns and the ornate cornice, showcase White's mastery of architectural ornamentation. The frame, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, likely served as a decorative element for a grand residence or public building, highlighting the grandeur and refinement of the Gilded Age.
