Recent Framing Projects (December 2020)

What's on the Framing Menu
Tis the season for food. The Art Exchange recently framed two French Menus, one from 1888 and the other from 1910. A simple gold frame was used to highlight the embossed writing and edges of the menus. A 1/4" gap of white between the solid black mat and menus emphasizes unusual shapes. The finished product is a travel keepsake perfect for the kitchen or dining room.

Last week The Art Exchange staff worked on repairing and framing a lino cut. The delicate paper had a tear at the base of the image. Japanese paper tape and wheat starch was used to archivally repair the artwork. A pocket on the back holds pre sketches of the final print. It is now ready for the wall.

Florals Framed
Recently The Art Exchange framed two Angie Quick floral paintings. Our staff used a combination frame (two mouldings joined to create one) for this design. This technique allowed us to construct our client's ideal look, tradional with a modern spin. The chosen white frame acts as linen, producing visual space between the painting and the ornate gold frame. The colours of the flowers are vibrant when paired with the antiqued gold. This design adds scale and volume to these smaller artworks while adding the client's personal aesthetic.
