Italian antique frame
This lovely little antique frame needs some minor repairs to the gesso, but overall the finish is excellent for a frame that is probably from the 18th Century. It is almost certainly Italian. I will add a slip (an antique one from stock) to make it fit a 19th Century painting. The frame is really perfect for the painting that it will surround.

Moulding racks
I put up some more moulding racks today, just in time for a delivery of moulding for a large exhibition order. In the top photo, all the moulding against the the right hand wall is for Duncan MacGregor paintings, that's alot of frames! The second photo shows some storage for offcuts of moulding.
