Recently we had the wonderful opportunity to frame this antique embroidery and are delighted with the outcome.
This piece took a while to complete as it was both complex and larger than normal, so when we worked on it, between more regular pieces, it commandeered most of the workshop. Measuring 1.5 by 3 metres it created a bit of a challenge!
We invisibly hand stitched the embroidery to a calico backing to support the delicate antique piece, then framed it in a deep rebate ash profile, stained and waxed to the clients specification, a mid brown, mossy grey to compliment the artwork. We used painted spacers to create a box frame and used an acrylic glazing to keep the weight down.
Do come in and see us if you have something unusual to frame.
