Victorian style frame

Reproduction of a Victorian style frame gilt on wood. This 19th-century model is available for any particular painting size. Therefore, you can fit it with any painting.

Victorian style frame properties

This Victorian style frame reproduction is made of pine and tulipwood combined together. We use pine for the front side and tulipwood for the backside of the frame. As a result, we obtain the maximum strength with the minimum weight.

You can customize the rabbet width as you prefer. For instance, if you need to cover a bigger part of the painting, you can ask to enlarge it. The rabbet depth, instead, depends on the thickness of the painting. In most of our models, it is between 1.5 and 4 cm. Sometimes, it is even deeper due to structural reasons or upon request.

Victorian style frame decorations

Decorations are in wood pulp. We carve them when they’re dry, realizing the shape form of a typical Victorian picture frame. Using wood pulp, which is 99% composed of wood and 1% solvent, allows us to keep the price at a very low level. The entire process is handmade, and you can watch a video related to it by following this link to our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/fTQHIH9dRC8

Patina (aging process)

“Patina” is an Italian word that refers to how dark and old look to be the frame. Apart from dark gold, the age of a frame is determined by a few cracks and tiny broken parts around the sides. For this purpose, our gilder hits its surfaces with some kinds of stones.

Also, the wormholes are simulated, and you will be able to notice them by analyzing the pictures above. The presence of wormholes does not indicate activity within or a recent flight of beetles. Remember that we faked them to specifically age this Victorian-style frame reproduction.
