This unique frame originally designed to encase the portrait of Mrs. Stanford White, painted by Thomas Wilmer Dewing, is arguably one of Stanford White's most intricate and finely crafted frames. The frame stands out as a testament to White's dedication to creating unique and bespoke pieces, as he expressly intended this frame to be one-of-a-kind, as distinguished by its elaborate floral motifs, which are intricately carved into a net-like background, creating a rich tapestry of textures and patterns. This ornate carving is complemented by an inner border, also delicately carved with floral designs, adding to the frame's overall elegance and complexity.

A notable aspect of this frame is its inspiration from lace patterns, reflecting White's ability to draw from a diverse range of influences and translate them into his frame designs. The frame's intricate design illustrate White's mastery over materials and his innovative approach to frame design. He was not content with merely framing a painting; he sought to create a harmonious relationship between the artwork and its frame, enhancing the overall aesthetic experience. This frame, with its detailed craftsmanship and thoughtful design, is a perfect example of how White's frames were not just accessories to the artwork they held but were works of art in their own right.
