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 anyway but it would be nice to give her the option if an option is out there.
Thanks for looking,
Jo

The Frinton Gallery (not Frinton Frames) do custom made ones with all manner of fancy bits on in all finishes. Might pricey comapared to AQ ones though.
You can Ivory-up gold ones with a coat of white paint. Slap it on, and keep scrubbing it about as it dries to build up as thick a coating as you want. Wipe of the high points a bit. It may or may not produce the desired effect, but it will knock the gold back considerably. If it ends up too white, a thin wash over with diluted Raw Umber acrylic will give the Ivory look.
