Summary
A circa 1800 Carlo Maratta style frame for a painting (NT/PET/P/154) attributed to Titian (c.1487/90-1576) of a naked Venus and a Satyr with reeded top edge and the hollow with acanthus leaf and original oil and water gilding.
Provenance
Acquired, perhaps via van Dyck, by the 10th Earl of Northumberland (1602-1668). Thence by descent, until the death in 1952 of the 3rd Lord Leconfield, who had given Petworth to the National Trust in 1947, and whose nephew and heir, John Wyndham, 6th Lord Leconfield and 1st Lord Egremont (1920-72) arranged for the acceptance of the major portion of the collections at Petworth in lieu of death duties (the first ever such arrangement) in 1956 by H.M.Treasury.
