These two vintage prints were designed by the famous fashion illustrator, René Gruau for the cabaret Le Lido in Paris: Bonjour la nuit (Hello The Night) in 1971 and Cocorico (Cock-a-doodle-doo) in 1981. We chose the same frame for both since they were going to be hung together and worked great as a pair. The inside of the frame is a 6K White Gold Leaf which enhances the brightness of the scenes. The sides of the frame have a black rub that adds structure to the pieces without being too stark- how a black paint would look. Together these elements support the pieces without being a distraction.

I only have eyes for you.....

Drawing by #SianSmith set apart through floating on a light gray mat and surrounded by an 8-ply beveled off-white mat in a style called “Island matting.” The elegant, rounded frame is hand-gilded with white gold, with wooden teak sides. A beautiful frame for a beautiful gaze...

We framed this antique dictionary, which was tattered from age and use, to both showcase its rustic charm and preserve it from any future damage. We float mounted the book and a selection of its leaves on a lustrous but subtle 100-percent Pongee silk fabric-wrapped mat. A classic modern frame profile with maple wood sides and antique white front creates a perfect balance between elements of past and present. A spacer of 1 inch keeps the glass away from the precious surface of the book, as well as emphasizing its three-dimensionality.

Framing Textiles

#Framing #textile pieces is one of our #specialties at #ParisFrameworks. We attach the textile to a #linen background with a few key #stitches gently #sewn down, which does not harm the textile in any way and is completely #reversible. This method retains the #quality of the work while #preserving it in the best way possible. Come check out our #selection of #frames and linen options for your textile piece. #preservationist #archival #historic #handsewn

Welded Steel Frame Design

#WeldedSteelFrameDesign: #WeldedSteel #frames have become extremely #popular in the past twenty years, and we love showing them to our clients at Paris Frameworks on Amsterdam. The frames start with raw angle or bar #steel, which are then #cut, #welded, and ground, resulting in #finishes that range from the #sleek and #contemporary to #rough and #industrial.

There is an #unparalleledselection of #steelframe #shapes and #styles, including #traditional #capframe #moldings in various #widths and #depths, as well as #steelcanvasfloaterframes and #unique Flat Iron profiles. Additionally, some of our #steelprofiles have the option of different screw and #bolt treatments on the face of the frame.

Come check out our selection! www.parisframeworks.com #parisframeworks

This piece, ‘Grounds of the Tenjin Shrine at Kameido’ is an original woodblock by Ando #Hiroshige (1797-1858). It inspired Claude Monet’s ‘Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies’ series. We complemented the work with a beveled water-gilded White Gold over a blue clay rub frame, handmade in our LIC workshop. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 #parisframeworks #nycframing #conservationframing #archivalframing #Monet #Woodblock #fineart #Kameido #tenjinshrine (at Paris Frameworks on Amsterdam)
