To find an antique picture frame for sale with the right shape and style is not the end of the world. Sometimes it happens. Unfortunately, you never find it with the right size you need. Due to this issue about antique frames our company realized many replica frames for the museums. They order us a frame and thus stop bothering with any size.

Before the 1300s exist just a few examples of frames: they are mostly related to architecture and interiors. So, as our main goal is to talk about frames for paintings, we analyze the styles from the late Middle Ages to the 20th century.

The first examples of antique gothic frames are complements of altarpieces of churches and have a structure that recalls Hebrew holy tabernacles. Their typical shapes influenced the north more than the south of Europe.

Renaissance style frame recalls classic Roman art. In fact, its real spirit is an in-depth look at the art of the Roman Empire. Most ornamentations of Renaissance style frames come from that period. Even if a mix of new forms characterizes its symbols, Romans were already using most of those decorations a long time ago. In other words, Roman art is the main source of Renaissance ornates.

As the style is composed of different phases in time, we can distinguish two main Renaissance frame styles. In the first category, one finds polyptychs, triptychs, diptychs, and altarpieces commissioned by churches. In the second category, one finds Cassetta picture frames decorated with gold leaf and lacquer headed to private collectors.

Renaissance frames are essential for antiques because art dealers have the right to commercialize them. Also, you find a fair quantity of models still available on the market. Unfortunately, they are super expensive.

First, because the Renaissance style is ancient. Second, Renaissance frames are a closed number, and some of them are already in museums. It is quite unlikely that they will turn available on the market. For this reason, the price rises.

Baroque style frames developed in Europe during the first half of the 17th century, and they are the evolution of Renaissance frames. We can distinguish Baroque frames from other styles for their rich ornamentations and massive structure. Carvers did their work exceeding in virtuosity to create frames that are no longer complementary to the paintings.

Therefore, frames stand out more than paintings, as they are composed of intricate acanthus leaves over their sides. For this reason, decorations and design became too heavy and, metaphorically speaking, could kill the painting. That is why we use the word Baroque, sometimes, to describe a piece of art too rich.

Nevertheless, the seventeenth century witnessed the growth of extraordinary craftsmanship as well. In other words, the Baroque period gives birth to astonishing frames capable of enriching their paintings by balanced carvings and bright gildings.

What defines the Rococo style is an exceeding of intricate leaf decorations over the sides. They are quite similar to Baroque ornamentations except for a few differences. First, Rococo style frames have a softer structure. So, generally, they weigh less than Baroque frames. Second, they have ornaments that are not specular.

Rococo frames appeared in France around the 1700s. They last until the 1760s so that they lasted much longer than Baroque models. Besides, experts define the Rococo style as a derivation of Baroque art. Rococo frames evolved from the Baroque style, exceeding even more in virtuosity and abundance.

During the Baroque and Rococo eras, carved mirror frames became very common to decor interiors. The new rising bourgeoisie made large use of them to show off their power. Probably that is the reason why the Rococo style evolved through compositions even more complex than Baroque models.

Neoclassical frames spread over Europe around the 1780s. During that time, Neoclassical art developed after the previous discovery of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Indeed, architects started to study in-depth classical architecture to synthesize the new trend style that would take form with Neoclassicism.

Symmetrical and uncomplicated forms define Neoclassical frames. Carvers and gilders pay more attention to balanced geometry than rich ornamentation. The style in itself is a reaction to the exaggerations of Rococo art, and its central core is the necessity of regaining the ancient harmonious traditions of the classic world.

The typical shape of Neoclassical frames is the Cassetta flat structure. On the contrary, Empire frames have a deep concave surface to form their profiles. To synthesize, curved moldings are the main elements of Empire profiles, while flat lacquered surfaces determine Neoclassical frame shapes.

The second consistent difference between Neoclassical and Empire antique frames is the finishing. Although the two styles made extensive use of gold leaf, the ladder tends to mix walnut surfaces and gold. So, apart from the structure, you would tell apart the two styles by the red walnut surfaces of the Empire frames.

The Eclectic movements that influenced paintings and frames have been created under the logic of mixing ornaments and structures of the past. As a result, artists covered 600 hundred years of history of art, from Gothic to Empire, gathering elements to free art from rules.

The process of aging a frame is done by several tricks that master gilders do following a precise order. The finishing techniques we are referring to, exist since the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, framers have been using reproduction frames to enrich old paintings.

Why do we advise customers to go for the giltwood mat? We always recommend an outer square or rectangular structure of the frame because the entire body of the work would be more robust. Ordering one of the above uncommon kinds of frames without the mat would cost more.

When it is a matter of oval frames the work to do is tough and dangerous. To realize an oval or round custom frame we need to use a spindle molder woodworking machine. As the work is complex the price is high. For this reason, we advise customers to buy our solutions.
