Antique Frame Styles

Good quality 20th C carved repro straight sided Louis XV frame. 

19/20th C Barbizon frame with an inexpensive metal leaf refinish.

Wednesday

Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery

Here are a few frames I liked on a recent visit to Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Last time I went a couple of the rooms were closed, and they now have a new Baroque gallery display. The post about my previous visit (here) complained about the lack of anti-reflective glass and this is still a nuisance on many of the paintings, and for me negatively effects the viewing of the paintings.

Classic and Contemporary


Old meets new with the juxtaposition of a modern flamingo oil on board by Jeremy Houghton with a reproduction Spanish 17th Century Baroque style frame.This lovely frame came from the Lacy Gallery in London, a dream shop for anyone who loves antique frames.
