This Week at the Shop – Our philosophy about framing always includes considerations for size, color, and design – the three aspects of framing that help compliment your artwork and draw the eye into the piece. In our post today we feature a truly custom design that perfectly compliments a captivating french impressionist oil painting recently cleaned and restored. The frame sample was carefully selected as a starting point, with carvings in the corners that were expertly modified in the final, hand-carved version, by tightening the corner design into perfect perspectives for the finer details in the composition. As with all our work of this type, this finished-corner, hand-carved, authentic gold-leaf frame is not only beautiful and time-period appropriate, but is meticulously crafted to add value to this superb work for the enjoyment of its owner for years to come. Thank you! Valued artwork of your own needing a truly customized frame design? We’d love to help.
