Framing
Artworks sold online are framed and ready to hang unless stated otherwise. If you have any specific requests regarding framing please email: beckythorley-fox@live.co.uk or you can get in touch via the contact page.
​
Each frame is handcrafted to suit the painting. The framing process begins by first applying gesso to the obeche frame. This provides a hard, smooth base for layering colour finishes using a tonal palette chosen to work well with the painting.
​
An antique gold leaf finish is sometimes applied where it suits the painting, using traditional water gilding and 22- 23ct loose gold leaf.
​
Other frames are painted in luxury pigment rich paints by Farrow & Ball and Little Greene.
​
Each frame is protected with a soft wax finish.
The back of the frame has strong metal fittings and framing cord.
