A guide to the history of frames in the Royal Collection
BRITISH SCHOOL, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Frame for RCIN 405664, Mytens, 2nd Duke of Lennox
RCIN 7405664
This carved oak frame was made to match in with the wooden panelling at Hampton Court Palace; the key features are the broad knull with scrolling foliage over rope. It was known as a cushion frame because of the large round knull that is the main focus of the frame.
This example is a twentieth-century reproduction of the style.
