Cynthia Rowley Shabby Chic Floral Picture Frame

This is a decorative 5-inch by 7-inch rectangular picture frame from the Cynthia Rowley New York home collection. The frame features a highly ornate, 'shabby chic' aesthetic, characterized by a white-washed or distressed off-white finish applied over a high-relief floral motif. The border is densely populated with three-dimensional rose blossoms and trailing leaf designs, likely cast in a resin or poly-stone material that mimics a heavy plaster or carved wood texture. The inner border features a subtle beaded or hatched texture that steps down to a glass front protecting the stock image of a Ferris wheel. The finish shows intentional distressing, with darker grey or brown tones peaking through the white paint to simulate age and patina, fitting a neo-romantic or cottagecore style. While currently found in a thrift setting with a Savers price tag of $5.99 attached to the glass, the overall condition appears intact without visible chips to the delicate rose petals. The backing, though not visible, is expected to be standard velvet-wrapped cardboard with a dual-orientation easel stand. This contemporary piece represents a mass-market interpretation of vintage Rococo or Victorian styles common in late 20th and early 21st-century home decor.
