This corner sample is made from a moulding that comes pre-finished with gesso, this is then ready to be painted with bole and gilded, or finished in some other way. The fact that the moulding is already gessoed, means it saves time not having to apply the gesso by hand and then sand it down. Although the overall finished look is not quite the same as a frame made from barewood and prepared in the traditional way, it is a good alternative.
