For any change, we have to recalculate the price because usually, it is going to rise a bit.

vintage gold frame decorations

Most part of this large vintage gold photo frame is without decorations. A smooth gilded surface of 5,5 cm large is decorated with just a thin wood pulp decoration in the inner part. Our wood pulp is made 99% of wood so that our frames are very durable for a long time. If you want to know more about how we use the wood pulp for our decorations watch this video: https://youtu.be/9nWRBEeqkBk| This procedure allows us to maintain the prices quite low because carving wood is much more expensive.

An antique dark color for vintage gold photo frame

The way we darken our frames is very sophisticated and requires long practice. First of all, you need to know antique picture frames very well. Second, you have to know the material to use for the task. We use shellack to darken the surface of the gold and we use a stone to hit it and fake a few little broken parts. At the end of the process, this vintage gold photo frame will look like a very old frame. As a result, the distressing of the gilding is just a part of a bigger plane.
