Re: Wanted: A&T Discontinued Moulding

This is a photo of my old scruffy chevron, it's about 55mm wide. Second pic is from A&T of the smaller version that is still available.

Wanted: A&T Discontinued Moulding

Hello,
Just on the off chance, does anyone have any old 5438.7552 lurking in their workshops? I think it was discontinued a while ago, but it's a personal request, I'm trying to match one of my own frames! I only need around 3 metres, and I'm in Leicestershire.
Thanks for looking!

Re: Wide matt black moulding sought!

Thanks for the messages. The Arqadia moulding suggested is only 60mm wide though, looking for something bigger!

I will call on Monday Tim, thanks.

Wide matt black moulding sought!

I have a customer who would like his painting framed in a wide simple profile black frame but I can't find anything to match his request. I have looked at A&T, Arqadia & Lion with no joy. Ideally he would like something 80-90mm matt black finish (or bigger but it would have to be available o...

Re: Brass Plaque Suppliers

I've always used http://www.warwickcrystal.co.uk/shop/engraving/eng01.htm and been very happy with the results. Used my local Timpson once when I was in a hurry and wasn't too excited by the price or finish. Warwick Crystal have a good range of colours, sizes and fonts and delivery within 2 or 3 day...

12x16 Ivory Oval Swept Frames

Hello, Does anyone know if 12x16 Ivory Oval Swept Frames exist? Arqadia do Gold Swept or Plain Ivory but not Ivory Swept. And yes, I have thought of spraying a gold one but I'm never keen on doing things like that if I can buy one ready made! The customer is starting to sway towards a gold frame any...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone has any of Ashworth & Thompson's 9918.G left? A customer has had three frames from me, came in wanting a fourth and I find out it's discontinued. :( I only need a 30cmx25m frame! Can anyone help with stock in the Leicestershire area, or may be prepared to send a c...

A&T 5401.6018

Hello, It's been discontinued for a while, but I wondered if anyone might have a little bit of A&T's 5401.6018 left in stock? I've got a customer who has been coming in annually with his disabled wife's cross stitch for about 8 years, and this year I can't make it match. :( I'm in Leicestershire...

Re: Honesty

I framed three long service awards for a local company, and wrapped them individually on collection. Over zealous lady was so impressed with them back at the office, she opened them all, stacked them up and rushed in to show the boss... Four new sides later, she apologetically collected the two dama...

Re: MORSO KNEE ..

No problem with my knee as yet, but using the Morso was excellent physio after breaking my ankle a couple of years ago! It was the preceding weeks with a cast and crutches that were more challenging! I always keep the stop on my pedal quite low, and only raise if if a moulding calls for it, definite...

Re: Help identifying moulding needed!

I've got a sample of that Lion one, and it's not the right colour really, but it's the closest I've got so far. I use Lion, A&T and Arqadia mainly, and that's the closest I've found from the 3 of them. I like the idea of using the spacer for the step though, although to get a step and rebate it ...

Re: Help identifying moulding needed!

It's definitely all one moulding, but yes, it's a 20"x24" standard size frame.

The customer knows I might not be able to match exactly, but at the moment I can't even match vaguely!

Help identifying moulding needed!

Hello everyone, I have a customer who wants to match a frame bought from a photography studio about 3 years ago, and I don't recall ever seeing anything like it from the suppliers I use. I'm slightly confused because it looks and feels like an oak or oak veneer moulding, but the back is smooth and y...

I've been using Claryl for about 18 months, mainly on the photos I frame for a local portrait photographer but also to whoever will pay for the upgrade. Looks great (particularly on the photos) and the demonstrater has lots of finger prints in the centre where everyone jokingly prods the middle one,...
