Jeremy Geddes - which frame?, by Humble Art Collector on Apr 18, 2021 4:00:07 GMT 1, I would go for a more contemporary all black frame (non-gloss - there should be options at any good framer - worst case have them paint it) with maybe just a hint of a white mat. Do not try to match the gold will only take away from the art. I would also stay away from a black mat.

Jeremy Geddes - which frame?, by wottagunn on Apr 18, 2021 6:34:14 GMT 1, Donโt settle. Matte black frame. High or regular float mount. White backing. Do not use mat board on this piece. No gold in the framing. Keep it simple and classic.
I actually didn't consider floating/no mat on this, but that really interests me.
I have several other geddes works all with a black mat so I just automatically went to that, but you're right in that in may not be best here.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Jeremy Geddes - which frame?, by Reader on Apr 18, 2021 10:40:44 GMT 1, I had a lot of hassle with the same print. Initially planned to float it but at that XXL size it was going to take way too much tape, it's also printed off a roll, so naturally curls even after flattening. I tried black initially but was too dominant, ended up copying a couple of the softer colours in the plants and suit, warm cream matt and a dark brown natural wood frame, felt it tied in nicely with the work.

Jeremy Geddes - which frame?, by wottagunn on May 17, 2021 3:11:09 GMT 1, It's on the wall! Following suggestions I went away from my 4 initial options for a high float on black mat with a simple profile black frame, and im glad I did. I wanted to go with white but the shades never quite worked in my opinion.
Also it's huge (9ft ceiling)!

Nice. Looks great. Wish I could frame mine.
