The Florentine style frame Mark has been restoring and regilding is nearly finished... thankfully! Lots and lots of hours have gone into this so it will be good to get it finished this week, in other words we will be glad to see it leave the workshop! only joking, it is great to have such frames to work on. Here you can see photos after it has been lightly distressed and the leaf tips have been burnished. Next comes a bit of patina and toning.
