Expensive reproduction of antique Baroque frames for masterworks
Due to our specialty of manufacturing extra large antique Baroque frames for artworks, we work for the major museums of all over the world. Often, museums contact us to order a top-quality reproduction frame in a custom size. Most of them are going to encase huge paintings. For this reason, especially for extra-large Baroque picture frames, we found a system to create the four sides of the frame dismounted. In other words, we developed an easy method to join the sides at the place of destination. With a simple use of glue and screws, our frames can be fixed together and hunged up on walls.
Take in count that when frames are too large is not a good idea to try to ship them mounted. They would be more exposed to damage during transport. Even though their section width would be wide enough to be robust, they might be too heavy.

A new generation of Baroque style frames
We belong to a new generation of artisans devoted to recycling materials. For this reason, we encourage our customers to make us use new working techniques. The wood pulp for carved decorations is one of our best cards in that sense.
Wood pulp is made 99% of real wood so that the 1% of the solvent used to create a handy paste doesn’t change its main property. Wood pulp gets dry approximately in a week. When dry, we carve on it fine decorations as we do for wood decorations. See a video on our YouTube channel showing the system. We carve four beautiful corner leaves of an astonishing antique Spanish frame replica, carving wood pulp ornaments.
Final result for Baroque style frames
What about the final result? Terrific is the right word to describe it. Nobody can tell the difference between a frame made by using our technique and one made traditionally. Still, there is a vast difference, but that is due to the price. Our customers can save up to 60% this way. Also, wood pulp carvings are as resilient as wood carvings. The shapes will be precisely the same, and gilding them will be even easier because of the porosity of the material. In short, wood pulp allows to improve elegantly the entire process of production.
