ART OF THE RESCUE
Discovered as a neglected vintage wood frame with wonderful architectural weight, this piece immediately caught my eye for its stunning raised floral relief molding and versatile dual-display design. Breathing new life into its classic structure, the outer border was meticulously hand-painted in my signature black-and-white check, while rich metallic gold gilding wax was hand-rubbed across the floral relief to catch the light. It leaves the studio fully rehabilitated—preserving its authentic vintage character with its surface divots and nuances while transforming into a striking, whimsical frame ready to showcase your favorite portrait on a desk or a wall. Use the current floral image or replace with your own picture.
