Searching for oval frames

Post by Trigger »

A customer has brought me in a set of old cameos of family members (Victorian era) for reframing. They were last framed around 20 years ago, not to the best standard.

To get the look they are after I need to find a supplier of small (approx 4" x 3") oval frames that are prettier than plain wood or gift shop brass.

Any helpful suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Arqadia's smallest are 7x5 (choice of two) and Simons are 5x3.5 (choice of 4)

Sorry, should have said, but we were looking beyond the normal suspects (ie Simons/Arqadia etc) for something a bit different.
