Type: Running Pattern , Corner and Centre , Louis XIV
History:
Synonymous with the Baroque aspect of Louis XIV’s reign with cartouches in the corners and centres containing shells, leaves or fleur-de-lis on a broadly hatched ground. As a result of this design, attention is diverted from the straight edges of the frames. This example has a running pattern flowing into corners and centres with a rope twist at the front.
