FAQs

Victorian gesso picture frames are characterised by an applied mixture of chalk, binder, and pigment built up over a wooden base, allowing for intricate, high-relief moulding and ornamentation.

These frames typically utilised a core of soft or hardwood, such as pine or composition wood, coated in layers of gesso and frequently finished with gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the crazing of the gesso, hand-carved joinery at the corners, the type of nails or fixings used at the back, and the natural oxidisation of the gilt finish over time.

An antique frame can be used to display modern abstract art or mirrors to create a striking contrast between historical texture and contemporary minimalism.

Preservation involves dusting gently with a soft, dry brush, avoiding all liquid cleaners or chemical solvents, and maintaining stable humidity levels to prevent cracking in the brittle gesso layer.
