Can anybody help to identify the moulding in the pictures. Thanks

Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately I haven't seen the frame in the flesh, so can't confirm exact colour, dimensions etc. My customer has just sent the photo through to see if I can source the same frame. I was hoping it might be immediately obvious to someone, but appreciate the photo's not t...

Hi, does anybody recognise the moulding in the photo? Thanks in advance

I'm not sure if I've understood correctly, but this might be what you're looking for:-

I got hold of a CS940 a couple of years ago and it's a great machine. If you want to pick my brains on it, just ask.

Thanks for the input. Good to know that it can be recreated even if it can't be bought off the shelf. Definitely learnt something today

My customer has acquired a couple of 15th century wooden plaques that he wants to hang on a wall. He'd prefer to hang them without a frame and has approached me to see if I can do it. I feel it needs a smaller piece of board attaching to the rear, but it's a question of how to attach it such that it...

Can anyone point me in the direction of the "stepped" white frame that's been used on the left and right hand frame in the picture? Thanks

Hi all, I've been asked to frame something that is 1680mm x 1430mm in size (approximately 66" x 56"). I've done a few large ones for this customer before, but none quite this big. Previously, I've just sandwiched the artwork between glass and a MDF backboard overlaid with a barrier board. ...

Thanks David, that's really helpful. I'll get some of that tape from Lion and happy to cook the paste. Didn't realise though that the methyl cellulose didn't need cooking, so I'll probably get some of that in as well. Thanks again.

I've float mounted a couple of fairly heavy pieces of artwork recently using the hedgehog method. A few weeks later, the customers have contacted me to say that the artwork has slipped. On getting them back, the pieces have slipped completely and all of the pieces of tape I used are visible. I used ...

Hi, does anybody recognise this moulding please..

Hi, I've just had a message from a prospective customer which states "I am buying a limited edition photo that has been recommended to be cold pressed between 2 pieces of museum grade acrylic when framing". They go on to ask if this is something I can do as the gallery that's selling the p...

Thanks for all your replies. I need to match an existing frame, so unfortunately the dimensions and finish are all important. I suppose that precludes the Arqadia option, but thanks China Shop for your help. Thanks Mark for directing me towards Norfolk Mouldings. I hadn't actually heard of them, so ...

Can anyone help point me in the right direction for this moulding...it's 27mm wide. Thanks in advance.

I'm looking to source something similar to this but finished in white. Does anyone know where I can source such a thing? Thanks

I think that looks right. Thanks!

Hi, can anyone help ID this frame please. Thanks in advance.

Speaking personally, I use Farrow and Ball colours, but most of them are Valspar tester pots from B&Q at £3.00 per pop. I put a light coat of Renaissance wax onto an emulsion. Have attached a picture of a Charleston Grey Frame completed earlier today...

Does anyone recognise the moulding in the picture? I don't have any dimensions to go from I'm afraid.
