The frame that encloses "The Virgin and Child" at the Milan Cathedral is said to be the finest in the world. Some idea of its value may be gained when it is stated that the frame is Bft. long and 6ft. wide, formed of hammered gold, with an inner moulding of lapielazuii. At the comers are hearts designed in large pearls and precious stones. This Dicture frame is probably worth upwards of £520,000.
