Hand Painted frames are the pinnacle of framing with the ability to deliver a perfect and luxurious accompaniment to your artwork. It allows us to create a frame that works in harmony with the picture enhancing the colours and composition of the art piece. Alternatively for mirrors it enables you to find the perfect colour combination for your interior.
We use bespoke wood mouldings cut specifically for the artwork. Gesso, a form of fine plaster, can then be applied to remove the wood grain and allow for textural variation, from smooth to impasto, enhancing the textures found within the painting. We can then finish the frame with Farrow & Ball paint and gilding as desired.
Depending on you, we can help choose paints in the shop. Alternatively, for a more perfect, harmonious design, we can slowly develop the colours and textures comparing the artwork with the frame at each stage in the workshop.
We use bespoke mouldings machined from solid wood. We cut these to size specifically to make a frame for your artwork. These frames are then frequently treated with Gesso, a form of fine plaster, to give the finest finish. This can be applied to fill the wood grain and allows the creation of a wide range of different surface textures, from smooth to impasto. This is one way in which we ensure that the hand painted picture frames enhance the textures found within the painting. Then the frame is painted in colours to enhance the artwork. Picture frames like these can really show off the style of the artwork and help it make a statement on the wall.
Hand painted picture frames can be enhanced even further, by complementing the finish by gilding features on the moulding profile. Gold catches the light and brings the opulence and tradition of gold leaf to the presentation of works, both period, and modern and contemporary. We have a significant range of different metal leafs including warm and cold golds up to 23.5ct, white golds, and coppers.
Mirrors can be made with hand painted picture frames to suit your particular interior. For that special location, adding light and space to your interior, nothing works as well as a mirror in a hand painted frame. The choice of a colour from the Farrow & Ball range can complement the design, from contemporary to traditional. The mirrors can be made to fit your precise location and large enough to be a significant presence in the largest spaces.
