Favourite moulding combinations

[Roboframer]

Here's one of my favourites for oils (on canvas or not) - especially if having glass, as this one has, AR glass between the two frames.

I'm no critic but I think this is a very good original, who says factory produced mouldings should not be used on them!

Very nice.

Good topic although I would rarely do something like that, I've tried the idea with a few people but so far no-one wants to pay for it

[Roboframer]

Having some framed examples about helps a lot, but I use this combination with and without glass, it looks like one meant-to-be moulding ... even with glass if it's AR glass.

I googled the artist and found this one at the foot of this page

I told the customer I'd done this and asked why it was so cheap compared to others the same size. it's because there are no faces.

That's a really nice idea! I used to use the Simons moulding at one time, but only ever by it's self. From what I remember the price was quite good. Very nice job!

How did you fix the inner frame to its brother when fitted please?

[Roboframer]

They fit together almost flush, I staple them together and seal with tape.

Thank, that was my second guess after gluing.
And thanks for the post too, I might be able to sell on that. Unless it's a fairly coarse brush I quite like oils behind glass.
Best Wishes.

nice, i love the painting. What's the name of this painting?

[Roboframer]

It's gone from the website now but it was something like "The view other jockeys don't like to see" - i.e. the rear end of a top jockey - I forget which one.

Lovely painting and the moulding suits similar in colours to LJ lucerne which is my favorite moulding especially the black and silver



Which I love for watercolours or prints and photographs in combination with 3500 and 1400 hayseed mount combo perhaps some black core for a photo as well.

I must add I don't use it very often though as most people want 150167000 black moulding or perhaps an oak
