Cornici! A collection of historical Frames

10 – 23 November 2023

Auction: 10 – 23 November 2023
The first lot expires at 6pm.

In addition to pure protection for the delicate surface of a painting, frames have a much more important task: they complement the painting and really make it stand out. They bring colors to shine and three-dimensional depth to the works. Sometimes they also bring the right historical context, without which the painting cannot work. From an extensive collection, VAN HAM can offer 64 exceptional historical frames this fall. The monographic collection consists mainly of Southern European frames from the 16th to the 18th century, besides some French examples in the majority frames from Spain and Italy. A special feature of our very special compilation is that the individual frames are generally in very good and original condition. There are hardly any restorations to be seen, and if there are, they do not alienate the character of age, which is the charm and authenticity of the piece. Thus, the frames shown here are the perfect complement, not only to present paintings of their respective eras, but increasingly as an exciting contrast for modern and contemporary works.
