Does anyone recognise this moulding? It is 14mm deep and 45 mm wide cream finish with a gold sight edge.

I dont suppose anyone has a length of Arqadia's Marais 477 593 knocking around??? Out of stock again till October!!! Or if anyone knows of anything similar.... Its on page 56 of the arqadia catalogue bottom left

Just wondering what are the most unusual objects that you have all been asked to frame. I recently framed a dead horses tail and horseshoe with a montage of photos of said dead horse. Previous to that a 17th century nit comb (with nits in it) and a hand painted wedding dress that just looked macarbe!!

Hello I thought id take this time to introduce myself (its too hot to work too hard). Im Sally and have been framing for 18 years and had my own business for the last 12 so obviously I have a fantastic sense of humour!!! Its good to find a forum like this, ive already had some good sound advise. sally

Thanks for the welcome, my Mum is actually called Venus, hence the user name!

Thanks for the advise....most of my customers are so tight they only ever breath in but happily this one knows their stuff when it comes to art. Just want to make sure im charging a fair price and double cts sounds right.

Hello

Does anyone have any ideas on what mark up I should put on museum glass? I have bought a sheet rather than cut to size as I have a couple of jobs to do in it but no idea what to charge (it cost me £184.80)!!!
