Fine Art Framing and Restoration in London
Old Masters
Original fine art frames from the Golden Age combine exquisite craftsmanship with a restrained, elegant aesthetic. It’s a combination we strive for today when creating carved frames for an Old Master.
Impressionists
Nearly all Impressionist paintings are now presented in 18th Century-style “swept” profiles. We love to make these kind of hand made frames, carving and gilding their opulent forms.
Modern British
With traditional gilded frames, we are often dealing with just one colour, manipulating form and tone to suit the image. But with a painted Modern British frame, we have to find the precise shades and combinations which work with the work.
Contemporary
At Bourlet, we try never to stray from the principle that a frame is there to enhance the work. In framing contemporary art, free from historical precedent and assumptions as to what is “correct”, many more influences come into play.
