Ornate Frames
The gold ornate frame has been a standard in picture framing for centuries. Originally, frames were made gold in part because gold glows in low light, allowing frames to stand out in dimly lit rooms before electricity. Over time the ornate gold frame became the frame of choice for serious artwork as attested to by the dominance of ornate gold frames in the world’s great museums. We also offer a large selection of ornate gold frames, many of which are copies of classic period designs and/or inspired by such designs.
