Two mouldings joined together


This frame is made from two mouldings which have been slightly modified, the wide flat profile has had a 1/2” cut off the outer edge, removing the outer hollow. The deep frame has been reduced in depth by 1” at the back and also had a 1/4” cut from the top of the profile. The frames are then joined and glued together so they can be sized, and covered in gesso and bole. Next comes the polishing of the bole before it is water gilded.
