I had been looking for an ornate frame for my NBG since its collection.
Although Ornate frames seem relatively easy to source, Fleebay ornate mirrors is a good place to start.
It is very difficult to find anything of the correct size to allow for even borders around the image.
Therefore I have commissioned Gary Mr Frameman to produce a bespoke frame which allows you to choose the type / number of swept corners and swags required together with the overall finish.
I would give him a ring to see what he can do for you

i know mr frameman and mr brainwash are on to a good thing at the moment

french made frame PELI, jonathan Viner print. The frame costs more than the print but they do look good together...

[Sliding on the Walls]

Thanks for the replies / PMs everybody. There are some really great examples you've shown me - some beautiful frames!!

[Dellboyy]

I think you tend to see more ornate frames with lowbrow art (if that's the right thing to call it?), loads of examples over on the artchival forum. My Tin original came nicely framed from a us gallery:

Heres my few

i got a couple from kempton market, its on every other tuesday i think. Early doors. A good day out though.

[ricobenfico]

Few of my examples. I love these type of frames. I've ordered from Frame Express www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk/ before who seemed to be very responsive. And as a few folk above say, charity shops and house clearance 'shops/stores' - you know the man with a van type place?

Evening all

I'm looking to buy a large gold ornate frame, something with a bit of umph but not too bulky about 60x80cm - has anyone got any suggestions as to where to look as I have no idea where to look and would rather avoid the large expense of a framers... etc etc

Cheers

I could happily spend a couple of grand on things that need framing (although admittedly I wouldn't have the wall space)...

Good suggestion CG, the quote is 30 quid which seems pretty reasonable... thanks mate

Try the next art sale at your local auction house H, the way the market is at present you can buy oils on canvas then throw the painting out of the car of the way back and keep the frame.

[mred]

Frinton Frames, frintonframes.co.uk/ are apparently meant to be good, although as they are bespoke not the budget route. I have an odd sized piece I want to frame in an ornate frame and got as far as looking at prices, safe to say still saving!!!

I have also been looking at auctions but as piece not "Gold Rectangle", framers term not mine, nothing close has turned up in last 9 months.

[jusdeep]

Obviously depends where you are based but Greenwich Auction Partnership always have a lot of frames and bulk lots at very reasonable prices.

Cheers all; I'm looking for one around 24x36" but not in too much of a rush. Will have a better look this week...

[voodoo1967]

How ornate ?

Depends on what frame width but what about www.cadremont.co.uk/shop/c130-swept-frame.html

[Coach]

Car boot sales for big ones.
Charity shops for small ones - and with a little matt black or white spray paint, they come out lovely.
And as cheap as chips.

Hi guys,

I would love to see your ornate framed Banksy's I think about framing in that style, so show us your antique pieces

Cheers

Probably worth a look here - urbanartassociation.com/index.cgi?board=banksyprints&action=display&thread=56964

[freddy]

Thanks Silky, I already saw that before. A couple of nice ones in that thread, but I need some more inspiration

[freddy]

No Ornate's out there?

[chaserawr]

I really want a piece with a large gaudy gold ornate frame. I know alot of urban art looks good with simple black or white frames. I wanted to see some pieces with gold ornate frames.

Just post pics!
