I'd be surprised if you couldn't find an exact match from Simons or Arqadia. It looks like a Manfredini moulding and plenty of suppliers do them.

Scroll to page 111 here http://www.arqadia.co.uk/supplyimages/p ... Vol_13.pdf - actual catalogue page is 219

The pukka stuff had very thin gesso and cut nicely. The copies mostly had very thick gesso and chipped badly. They also had that pronounced spotty toning which was much more subtle on the good stuff.

802 green/gold if memory serves.

From the above photo it looks like it may be a stacked frame.

Both sides also don't look to match?

That could be the light .... and the black is concealed on the top leg .... or the frame could be made from batches that are months/years apart.

Had a tweak with the photo and the colour in the scoop looks more red. This moulding came in several versions.

Have a gander at the AQ cat. Page 192 of vol 11. There are four versions 218 802 ___
