Trying to match a moulding
Posted: Mon 21 Sep, 2015 6:23 pm
Had a customer at the weekend looking to match a frame she had done ages ago
Mainline and Holroyds.
Was also wondering if that finish is something that could be done by a hand finishing newby like myself, I’ve only done stains and waxes. I can see it’s a dark red base with black speckles and gold over the top followed by a lacquer but to be honest I don’t know where to start! Think I’ve answered by own question on that
The moulding is 35mm wide, Think I found it in the Ashworth & Thompson catalogue
But on checking today it’s discontinued. Im struggling to find anything with a similar profile and finish. Any ideas? I have looked at Lion, Wessex, Was also wondering if that finish is something that could be done by a hand finishing newby like myself, I’ve only done stains and waxes.
