Picture Framing : A Practical Guide From Basic To Baroque

Taking the reader from the construction of a basic wooden frame, through the author's own simple method of reproducing ornate mouldings, to special finishes and colourings, this is a practical guide to picture-framing. Aiming to enable artists, art-lovers and craftsmen to frame their paintings and prints with originality and style, the book encourages a sympathetic response to paintings and images, and an individual approach to each project. Advice is also given on the restoration of damaged frames.
