FAQs

Montparnasse frames originated in early 20th-century Parisian artist communities, typically characterised by stepped profiles, corner cartouches, and subtle plaster ornamentation finished in gold or silver leaf.

These frames are traditionally constructed from carved timber, built up with gesso and layered with bole before applying gold leaf or metallic paint by hand.

Authentic pieces exhibit natural ageing such as fine craquelure in the gesso, oxidation of the metallic leaf, hand-carving tool marks, and period-appropriate joinery at the corners.

Such pieces provide a striking focal point when hung empty against minimalist walls as sculptural wall art or used to frame contemporary mirrors and abstract paintings.

Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid all chemical solvents or water, as moisture can lift the delicate gesso and gold leaf layers from the wooden substrate.
