I guess not very many will remember the long gone Origin framing supplies, but they had a bare wood slip / moulding (0117 ramin) which was pretty much bang on the right size to match that. I know that you think that it's a foil finish, but there are ways of getting really close to looking like a foil finish by other means.

Thanks Mark, no I don't remember origin, I think ive found it from Rose and Hollis, just waiting on sample turning up. Thanks for your reply though.

The sample you are copying is quite stunning, you might consider making a display sample to show future customers, I think you might get other orders for that as well.

BTW, I the only Rose and Hollis moulding I can see that looks anything like this is A239, but looking at the photo I would not have connected A239 with the photo. Is that the one that it is?
