What periods do these pieces cover?

The listings encompass items originating primarily from the mid-twentieth century, with specific examples drawing from the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Earlier specimens extend back into the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries, reflecting enduring French woodworking traditions.

How do I identify a Montparnasse frame?

A Montparnasse frame is characterised by its heavy, stepped wooden construction and substantial proportions designed to project outward from the canvas. These surrounds often utilise layered mouldings and textured gilt or painted surfaces typical of Parisian artist quarters.

What materials are used in these frames?

Wood forms the primary material for the structural mouldings, frequently finished with gesso, oil paint, or gilt layers. Associated elements in the listings include glass, paper, and canvas supports for the accompanying artworks.

Are these frames sold with artwork included?

Many listings combine the wooden surround with original oil paintings, watercolours, or lithographs created by French and European artists. Certain items consist of the frame alone, allowing buyers to house their own canvases.
