Restoration of A 19th Century Gilded Picture Frame

This is the condition of one of the corners, missing composite moulding and gold leaf. There were 26 repairs required on the whole frame which i repaired with traditional methods and materials 

I recast the mouldings and have gessoed and covered the repairs in traditional bole colours

The frame has been re-gilded and burnished

The finished corner with antique toning to match the rest of the existing frame.
