The Art of Framing is a comprehensive guide that provides the knowledge and inspiration for the successful mounting, framing and displaying of your favorite framable objects. It is a serious and illuminating exploration of the art of framing with insight into the development of mounting and framing styles.
It not only provides vital clues as to what to do with your own treasures but also offers a wonderful perspective on the history of style and art. Similarly, an understanding of the techniques and skills of the frame marker, such as water or oil gilding, distressing and craqueolure, helps the reader to identify quality and craftmanship, and where they should be applied.
From venerable old masters and still lifes to delicate drawings and modern screen prints, from fabrics and garments to seals and fans, whatever your treasured object, The Art of Framing will take you through every step of the display process - from the time you first enter a frame maker's shop to the moment you hang the object on your wall.
