Italian 18/19th century Palazzo Pitti frame, so called because of the large numbers of the original of this type of frame in the Galleria Palatina in the Palazzo Pitti in Florence. The many Grand Tour paintings, copies of the Old Masters, made in the 19th century led to many of the Pitti frames being reproduced in Italian workshops
