Moulding ID please

Post by antdan111 »

Hi ya Happy new year and I hope that you are all well I have been asked by a customer if I can replicate something I think I know what frame it is but I can figure out how its been done unless I am thinking of the wrong frame.

I think the picture is a canvas which is why I am stamped as to how you get the floating effect.

I have attached a picture any help would be great many thanks Anthony.

Is it definitely floating or is it maybe something like Centrado 2651WH with a small black slip.

Yes thats the shape frame that I think it is but I can’t work out how it sits to make the canvas float.

Maybe it’s fixed to a board covering the back of the frame.

Ask the customer to bring it in so you can examine it.

I would use an L float profile - a black one or a plain one painted.

Then it's just a question of making the top frame to drop over the float frame. :clap:

Or... Fix a piece of sq timber of suitable thickness to the back of the frame and fix a stout board to the back of that.
Paint the inside black. Then drop the canvas in and screw from the back. :wink:

Looks like Lion 'St Ives' L3065 to me. I'd glue and staple a wood spacer/fillet to the back (L2643) and screw the canvas to the spacer. A 20mm canvas sits in this recess perfectly.Image
