The peculiarity of the restoration of the restored frame was the fact that the lost decor cannot be restored technologically at the moment in the material of the original creation, since the historical decor of factory production was previously made on a rolling machine. The losses of the stucco, miniature in size, mastic decor of a low profile on the frame are piece-by-piece and require an individual approach to the restoration of each fragment. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that picture frames have always belonged to objects of fine art and, separately from which, as an independent type of decorative and applied art, they began to be considered relatively recently, and this topic remains truly poorly understood to this day. The study object was a frame of the late 19th – early 20th century. The project purpose is to restore the frame with stucco decoration and imitation gilding for a still life of the late 19th – early 20th century. The article contains information on conservation and restoration of a small frame size to the still-life, the decoration of which is mastic decor with gilding imitation of several types. The author of the article expresses the opinion that the method of carrying out restoration work performed on this frame will undoubtedly be useful in practice for other restorers on similar works with the loss of mastic factory decor and its historical decoration, and will also replenish the treasury of scientific knowledge in this area.
