Wanted ornate Picture Frame for image 16"x24
I am struggling to find a suitable second hand ornate picture frame for a painting size - 16"x24". It is for a traditional Scottish landscape picture so I feel that a modern frame would be out of place. Does anyone know where I might be able to source one. Many thanks, John

That can be like looking for a needle in a haystack. You did not say, but I am assuming that you are an end user. I would suggest that you find a local framer and see what they can do for you, at a price that you can afford....find a suitable second hand ornate picture frame for a painting size - 16"x24"

Thanks Jerome. Price is not the problem. The reason why I mentioned second-hand is that modern (new) frames do not compliment the painting and I would gladly buy new if available. Also 16"x24" does not appear to be a common standard size. I am sure that I will stumble across one at one time or another.

Any size frame can be made by a bespoke framer and you have in excess of 6000, 7000, 8000 different frame mouldings to choose from modern to "old" to hand finished. Take the picture into a frame shop and ask!

Like the UK - framers here in the US and other countries have the resources to make themselves or have their suppliers make antique reproduction frames in any number of styles and degrees of "age" distressing.

Hi,
I would suggest two well known trade suppliers first, but I am pretty sure they only deal with the trade. So may well put you in contact with a framer close to you, who they deal with:
Frinton Gallery supply bespoke traditional ornate swept frames (and endless repro antique styles) to the trade.
Ashworth and Thompson also have a range a handmade, made to measure repro frames.
after that there are numerous small to large framers who can make an repro antique frame for you...
or you could wait a lifetime for a 16" x 24" to come up on ebay or at one of the dedicated antique frame sales at Bonhams, Sotheby's or Christie's
