The Framers Forum

One of favourite frames made to support a large mirror. My customer wanted something different and we agreed on a mixture of details, ripple moulding, Byzantine decoration and she requested some jewels if possible. The frame was finished in water gilded 23/3/4ct. The surface feature punched decoration (stars & flowers) and the imitation jewels set in mounts I made out of wood. The jewels were made out of fibreglass resin and resembled garnets and black agate. If I say it myself, once finished it looked lovely and will at some point make another for myself. Hope you find it interesting.

Wow that is some frame

Hi geoff,

Very impressive. There's a lot of work gone into producing a frame like that. May I ask you how long it took to produce?

Hey Geoff

That's a real cracker! Did you take any photos of inbetween stages, it would be great for us lesser mortals to see how it was put together
