Re: Me old China!
Nice job Always interesting to know what glazing is used on these big frames, what did you use?

Hi
Size meant weight was an issue so used Acrylic with UV protection.

Re: Me old China!
I had one in like this a year or so back. It was already framed brilliantly by a very posh London gallery in a double sided frame. It even had an ancient piece of Chinese wood for the garment to hang from. Looked a million dollars and the client wanted me to re-frame it so it was about six inches smaller both ways. Would have absolutely ruined the look of the piece and I wasn't 100% confident I could match the high standards of the original job. In the end i think the price put him off - especially when he only wanted it done so it would fit on a particular wall. Put it on a different wall, job done!
