ornate frame
Fancy picture surround
An ornate frame is a decorative border, typically for a picture or mirror, featuring elaborate ornamentation—carved scrollwork, gilded flourishes, or intricate molding.
The phrase evokes Victorian or Baroque aesthetics, suggesting something richly embellished rather than plain: The portrait hung in an ornate frame that seemed to dwarf the painting itself.
