Framing the Nineteenth Century
This book has detail, and a lot of photos of the most beautiful frames used in 19th century. It's mostly from framing shops, who would like to re-create, the time tested frames. I am a fine art painter and wanted to have reference to frames I could consider for my art, and was searching for LONG time, for a book like this. Now I have a reference for frame shops, to just show - this is what I want and be done with it. Among all art books, this is my "only" framing book! Would fully recommend to buy it if you need detailed reference, where they provide "width" of each frame with the profile, and detailed photo of the frame, than where it was first used and who was the framer including detailed description.
