Ashworth & Thomson Moulding wanted
Can anybody help please.
I am looking for an A & T moulding 856.BKX enough for a 250 x 300 frame.
One of the annoying things is that you have chevrons galore, yet suppliers never tell you when the moulding is discontinued. Until you try to order it!!!!!!

Sorry I can't help you with this moulding john.
However, in fairness to A+T they have indicated which of their mouldings have been discontinued in their latest price update to EstLite.

Hi John,
Rather a long shot here, but have you tried asking their ex-rep James Bullen. I think he covered your area as well as ours and he might be able to point you in the direction of someone who has bought some. I have his contact details at work if you need them. BTW, it was nice to have met you the other day.

Ashworth & Thompson Moulding wanted
In fairness I think I had better leap to the defence of Ashworths here: They send me lists of discontinued mouldings - so why not you John (Merlin Framers)? I should have a friendly word if I were you.

Ashworth and Thompson are fantastic, we have a depot here in Edinburgh, about 11 minutes away.
Customer service has always been top notch, never had a problem with them in 16 years! If there was any errors they were always set right promptly
They used to have a van that went round the area, but now the items are shipped 30 miles to the parcel depot, (passing our door) then shipped back to us the next day.
Ludicrous

Emailed A&T Sunday - had a nice phone call Monday, catalogues on my mat Tuesday, I followed up today.
On Monday I was asked what, if anything, I was looking for in particular; I said 'anything exclusive and different plus high end 'closed corner' type stuff.
Well, haven't really looked at the main catalogue yet, as they sent me their 'Chelsea' range catalogue and price list too.
This is exactly what I was looking for some time ago - water gilded closed corner (finished after joining) stuff, ornate/traditional and modern/contemoprary.
It is sold by the CENTIMETRE!!! Oh boy!
The dearest is £1.51 per cm - so £151 per metre - so a frame with a glass size of 50 x 40 cm (just under 20 x 16") would retail for almost £640!
That's expensive - BUT - I've just sold a Frinton Gallery frame just over twice that size for about £480 with no gold in at all - not even foil - it's all paints , creams and waxes.
So now we are trying to sort out a corner sample set - the deal for that is very generous too.
Back on topic though - if the profile of that disc moulding is the same as 856 GBK - as mentioned above - you may find it in the Simons catalogue.
