Frame for Antique Portrait


The owner of this portrait kindly supplied a photograph of the finished job. This was a fairly small portrait, and the frame has a typical 1840 era slope molding, done in silver gilt (lemon gold). The depth of the frame was built up to accomodate the artwork's backing, and this also gives it more presence on the wall, and more typical of the deep frames of this period.
