Our antique reproduction frames are made in the same manner as the original antique frames. No frame design is produced in bulk; each frame is handcrafted one at a time with great attention and craftsmanship. Carved frames and those with applied embellishment are all painstakingly crafted before being gilded and patinated to simulate the effects of antiquity. Consequently, the frame has the charm and elegance of an old frame.
The process includes planning and spindle molding the carcass; hand carving of beading; application of gesso, then fixing of set inner leaf and outer guilloche ornaments: application of yellow followed by red bole; gilding with gold or silver leaf; burnishing, toning, and patinating to match the original.
Wooden mirrors are ideal accent pieces for adding a layer of warmth to your home's interior design. They're as helpful as any other furniture item in any guest room, bathroom, living room, bedroom, entry corridors, or any part of a home. To give attractiveness to the space, hang a wall mount big mirror framed in elaborately crafted skillful artistry in the entry passage or corridor. Mirror frames are also put on the wall opposite the dining table to make the area seem more significant, as well as on the wall opposite the bed headboard in the bedroom.
Mirrors bring drama and personality to a room. They also provide a regal touch to your property. Depending on the needs and desires, one may choose a wall mount mirror, a floor standing mirror, or a short or tall mirror.

All items may be polished to your specifications, with size and finish complementing your space. These frames are expertly crafted by our artisans and will endure for generations.
Museums often purchase high-quality frames that take from weeks to months to complete.
Many artworks are framed in museum-style frames. A considerable number of museum art frames have been destroyed as a result of wars and economic calamities. They have also been misplaced or stolen. As a result, museums need framers like us.
Furthermore, frames were traditionally regarded as a complimentary component of the artwork. However, in recent years, antique dealers have begun to sell them separately from their paintings. This method heightened the confusion associated with masterpieces without frames. As a result, many artworks remain unframed. As a result of this scarcity, antique frames have grown in importance in the world of antiques and collecting. Museums and collectors work hard to choose appropriate and cohesive frames for their artworks. Furthermore, adapting actual museum art frames to paintings is a difficult task. In truth, the size was nearly never correct.
Our frames are less costly than other museum frame suppliers yet durable.
We can create original frame designs for our artist clients.
Frames serve as ornamental borders, supports, and painting protection. They draw attention to and even reflect light on the contained paintings.

Artists have regularly created frames, either producing them or commissioning them from other artisans.
