Gold Baroque frame decorations
The decorations on this gold Baroque frame are made from wood pulp and individually refined by hand. In the video below, we demonstrate our carving technique using this very frame. You can see the decorative elements already attached along all four sides.
Our master carver shapes each ornament using traditional carving chisels. Because wood pulp is softer than solid wood, it allows for greater precision and control when refining the decorative details.
This technique reduces the time required for carving, allowing us to offer the frame at a more accessible price. The finished decorations retain the intricate shapes and appearance of traditional woodcarving.

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.
