FAQs

Victorian frames are characterised by heavy ornamentation, deep profiles, and intricate moulded details that reflect the eclectic and opulent design tastes of the nineteenth century.

These frames were typically constructed using a carved timber core, such as pine or softwood, overlaid with a chalk and glue mixture known as gesso, which was then gilded with gold leaf or metallic paint.

Authentic pieces generally show subtle ageing, fine crackleur in the gesso, hand-carved joints at the corners, and underlying layers of red or white bole visible through worn areas of the gold leaf.

An antique frame creates a striking focal point when contrasted against a minimalist, neutral wall, or it can be used to frame a modern canvas or mirror to create a sophisticated eclectic mix.

Gilded surfaces are extremely fragile and sensitive to moisture; cleaning should be limited to very gentle dusting with a soft, dry brush, avoiding all chemical cleaners and water.
