• A period painting looks good in a timeless, traditional, elegant gold-leafed frame
or a handsome walnut or mahogany wood frame. • Abstract painting or ethereal paintings look better in sleek, less fussy frames. • For paintings that are neither vintage nor abstract, there are frames which are
hybrid of classical as well as contemporary. These are called transitional frames. • Large painting generally looks great in wider moldings and require large wall to be
displayed on, as a large frame can add as much as 7 to 12 inches to the overalldimensions. However if going large is not an option then floater frame may help.Floater frames usually add only 1 to 4 inches to the height and width of a largepainting,
• Always remember to get a good consultation from a professional framer. There are
times when framers can guide you to choose a multilayered frame composition i.e.one or more frame moldings used together to achieve a unique look, with orwithout linen liner, plus fillet.
Each work of art is unique in its own way and has a story to tell. Frame shapes should be
chosen such that it benefits the art that is on display. A contemporary painting hung in
traditional room not necessarily need to have a traditional frame; nor does a traditional
painting in a contemporary room need a contemporary frame. Also falling into the trap of,
matching frames with the other group of frames in the room is not a good idea. Some of
the most stunning groupings of paintings are obtained by using variety of frame styles,
sizes and finishes.
Quality framing, however, can be an expensive endeavor and getting opinion of
professional is invaluable. Take time out to discuss in detail about your requirement with
the framer in order to make the right selection and bring pleasure through your art for
generations.
