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.
