You may have not been aware that there are different styles when it comes to frames just as there are different styles when it comes to artwork. Contemporary and traditional frames, although they might be constructed from the same materials, they are different in what they are best suited to display.
Contemporary frames are often best left to display modern pieces of artwork including photographs, particularly black and white photographs which look truly exceptional inside a contemporary frame.
Whereas traditional frames always look their best when they are enhancing and framing a beautiful painting or a traditional style of photograph. Paintings vary from watercolours to oil paintings and they need to be display in the correct type of frame to avoid any damage occurring whilst they are on display and also to ensure the life span of the artwork itself. Some traditional frames are also known as ornate frames and they look like the frames that you would find in an art gallery with gold gilding around the edge of the frame.
Your painting will look truly amazing with its traditional frame and the professional framer will ensure that it is framed to the highest of standards.
