Matt box mouldings.

Post by iamzero »

Can anyone recommend the best plain black or white Matt finish box mouldings, just had problems with the last batch from a place with twisted lengths, bowed lengths and chipping gesso even with virgin blades?

Centrado do the create range, very good wood, doesn't chip and a good price.

And you even get chocolates.

incidentally I framed one of those a few months ago, quite a valuable piece by all accounts, can you spot the missing letter?

Screenprint is by a guy called Ben Eine, £395 release price. The darker version was a blue to black gradient background and a higher edition number. This is the second one I've framed and is my personal one.

Yes it does, the W is on the COA. The prices of Ben Eine art went up when David Cameron gave a Ben Eine canvas to President Obama when he was elected to office.

All of my stuff is in Con clear and that is one of the lower end prints I've framed lately, the most expensive being £3k. for someone.
