Frames & Framing:

Narrow mouldings to fit inside a larger frame, liners add dimension and definition. Used with a mortise-and-tenon frame, they help draw the eye inward toward the artwork, and enhance perspective. Our gilt liners are 22 kt gold leaf laid directly on oak, revealing the distinctive coarse oak grain — a popular period technique. We show online our two most popular liner profiles.
