FAQs

A swept picture frame is a style originating in 18th-century France, characterised by sweeping, outward-curving profiles and elaborate ornamentation on the corners and centres, often inspired by Rococo motifs.

These frames were typically constructed with a wooden core, overlaid with gesso and molded composition relief details, before being finished with hand-applied leafing such as gold leaf or Dutch metal.

Authentic period frames feature hand-cut lap joints on the reverse wooden frame, natural micro-cracking in the gesso surface, and genuine surface wear or oxidisation appropriate to their age.

An ornate gilt frame can be used to house traditional oil artwork, fitted with a mirror glass plate, or hung empty as a sculptural focal point against modern dark or neutral walls.

Dust the frame regularly using a very soft, dry camel-hair brush, avoiding liquid cleaners, water, or chemical polish, which can permanently dissolve or loosen delicate gilding and gesso.
