... slightly understated in design yet simultaneously uber-classy, the border here is rather special, it angles softly downwards into the sight, having the effect of drawing your eye into the picture, it is also a pretty amazing colour, a winsome conker brown colour with the grain coming through beautifully in places and the edges are smooth from years of handling, we have a delightful shallow groove running around the whole of the side of the frame & there are two antique brass hanging rings in place, this is a frame that feels great to handle & to hold, it is certainly the work of a master frame-maker ~
... Frames such as these are often referred to (mainly in the U.S.) as being 'Quarter-Sawn' OR 'Mission' due to the almost perfectly matching grain pattern in the Oak ~
... entirely constructed & mitred by hand this is a beautiful early 20th Century Oak frame with a real sense of Arts & Crafts style ~ ...

The Edwardians & Victorians were passionate about using frames such as these to show off a photo of a family member sporting their Sunday best, it will also suit a quality antique gravure print or classical litho ~
... this frame can be used either in a Portrait OR Landscape fashion & will suit an exceptional picture OR perhaps an image of a loved one; it is certainly a frame to grace any wall ~

Some useful info ...
... at bluehorsefinearts, we try to find the most interesting frames we possibly can, not just frames of excellent design & quality but also beguiling, captivating frames that are quirky & have that extra bit of character ~ be they Contemporary OR classic Oak, OR ostentatious Louis XV / Napoleon III / Italian Rococo / Polychrome gilded frames OR glamorous Art-Deco pieces OR incredible carved Arts & Crafts one-offs ~
Finding the frames is the tricky bit, I wear a lot of tyre tread & shoe leather on my travels & I reject 99% of the frames that I see based on design OR condition, not to mention price ~ Many of the 'high-end' Interiors glossy magazines World of Interiors / Architectural Digest / Elle Decoration et al, have been promoting antique frame ‘feature-walls’ for many years now has been a popular decorator's trend, after all, "Without the right frame, Art is lost" ~
*A group of frames on a wall can be a great conversation starter & so we aim to bring as many quirky, top-notch antique & repro frames onto eBay at any one time to present plenty of options ~
** All of our antique frames will have some form of age commensurate wear, most of our frames are not reproductions & so there will be slight imperfections e.g., the odd ding OR light scratch etc, after all, this is the very essence of owning an antique frame ~ Please, always refer to the detailed photos, they are an accurate reflection of the antique condition ~
*** Each frame has been carefully stripped down of its backing & cleaned using professional materials - The back of the frame is then meticulously tidied of any loose impediments, nails, splinters, dust, glass OR any other abrasions ~ Where necessary, the border is then treated with a high-quality bees-wax and buffed vigorously, giving the wood a fresh lustre and sheen leaving you the customer with what is effectively a moderately refurbished frame ~ Some frames, depending on size, may be available with old glass & a backing so please enquire about this before we ship ~
