We also visited the RBSA yesterday, which has a small exhibition; 'A Place for Art: The Story of the Royal Society of Artists' that runs until the 15th November. The exhibition has some great paintings from the Birmingham school of artists. Again there was the same problem with standard glass, with only a few paintings (8 or 9) framed with museum glass, but there were also some good frames to be seen, a few photos below:
The Angel of the Annunciation by Mary Gwenllian Gibson
Corner detail of the frame on the painting above, a cushion profile with incised patterns, really lovely frame. Mrs Framemaker can be seen in the reflections...
Corner detail of the frame on the painting above, showing shell and dragon ornament, which appear to be stamped and gilded metal.
