Another of my hand finished frames. This time Farrow and Ball Bone was chosen to complement the subtle greyed blue green in this elegant print. This type of frame is proving especially popular with artists because in addition to being able to choose a bespoke colour, when pictures come back from exhibitions the frames are often marked and with a hand painted frame it is a relatively simple job to retouch any damaged areas. This frame also benefited from anti UV glass which is always a good idea if you want to preserve the vibrancy of a picture for as long as possible. Unlike regular picture glass which only blocks about 30% of harmful UV anti UV glass blocks 92-98% of the damaging rays.
Polcore, an alternative moulding material, is manufactured from recycled polystyrene. Polcore mouldings have a constant, clean finish and are available in a wide variety of styles and sizes. Most importantly, they offer really good value when compared to a similar sized wooden frame.

This Vettriano print, which I believe is entitled Beautiful Losers II, looks stunning in this black antique frame with a gold sight edge. Its a pity that my photography wasn’t able to do it justice!
These wonderful limited edition linocuts were framed for Derbyshire based ceramicist and printmaker Jeremy James. They are not shown exact size but the prints can be seen on Jeremy’s website.
Walter Gotschke was without doubt one of the worlds greatest automotive artists. His loose impressionistic style was underpinned by superb draughtsmanship.
This fabulous signed print, London 1935, was one of a series that Gotschke painted of the capital cities.
