The Art of the Frame: American Frames, 1820-1920, Part 1

Part 1 of 2 of an introduction to American period frames. An excellent reference for curators, collectors, conservators, educators, and dealers of fine art. "In America, it is only now that we are examining the rich legacy of the art of the frame," Eli Wilner & Company gallery director Suzanne Smeaton observes in this brief and remarkably informative presentation filled with fascinating details of period frame styles, their historical relevance, and the framemaking process itself. The presentation is a comprehensive view of the evolution of American frame design from 1820 to 1920 as well as a look at traditional water gilding methods and considerations of alteration and restoration when uniting frames with paintings.
