Decorations
The ornamentation on the flat surface is created by hand. Our gilder uses a specialized tool to produce an intricate punched pattern along all four sides of the frame.
The video below demonstrates this technique applied to our Cod. 033
The appearance of the punched ornamentation changes depending on the light. In stronger light, the pattern becomes more clearly defined, while in softer light it appears much more subtle.

Patina (aging process)
Each frame is individually aged by hand to recreate the patina and natural wear of an antique frame. Small cracks, distressed gilding, and simulated wormholes are intentionally created as part of the aging process.
Watch the video below to discover the different stages of our hand-aging process.
