These photos show various stages of making a matching partner frame for a 19th Century frame. The top shows some different bole colours painted on the copy, the middle photo shows the frame after it has been gilded in 23.5ct gold, with some distressing to the outer moulding. The last photo shows the original frame on the right and the new frame after some more distressing and antiquing, showing they are nearly a matching pair. Next comes a little more toning and patina to make them look the same.
