Florentine frames made in Florence are a centuries-old tradition maintained by several artisan guilds. Florentine items produced from the mid-19th century onward typically reflect a contemporary interpretation of Renaissance art and furnishings. They have an ornate appearance and are typically gold-gilded or have gold paint applied to resemble gilding.
