Featured Frame
Woman with a Parasol, Madame Monet and her Son, 1875, oil-on-canvas by Claude Monet
This beautiful gilded imitation gold leaf frame is crafted in the refined Louis XVI style, featuring a fluted scotia profile and elegantly carved acanthus leaf corners—a motif drawn directly from classical Greek and Roman design. The subtle fluting and restrained ornamentation create a sense of balance and structure, allowing the gilded surface to catch and reflect light without overwhelming the artwork it surrounds.
Louis XVI-style frames emerged in late 18th-century France, marking a clear departure from the playful curves and exuberance of the Rococo period. As tastes shifted toward Neo-classicism, frame design embraced symmetry, straight lines, and architectural clarity, inspired by renewed interest in antiquity.
Today, Louis XVI frames are prized for their timeless elegance and versatility, equally at home enhancing classical works, refined portraits, or adding a touch of historical sophistication to contemporary interiors.
We love what we do, and we would love to make your framing project uniquely and expertly crafted.
