I have just come back from Moscow, where I visited a large market which had lots of different stalls, including a lot of frame stalls, and many old and new paintings for sale. This is wear Muscovites come for a bargain frame, with lots of pretty typical profiles that we see in England, from some quite nice mouldings to lots of mass produced tacky looking rubbish. My favourite stall was selling natural wood frames which could be painted, stained, waxed, or gilded.
