ABOUT
English frame designs were greatly influenced by French and Dutch styles. Although frames were often mass produced in the 19th century and the gilded ornamentation was usually cast in plaster or ‘compo’ instead of hand-carved, many exquisite designs were created during this time such as frames associated with the Pre-Raphaelite and Aesthetic Movements. The reeded or Whistler style frame, widely made in late 19th century England and America, was used extensively by James Abbott McNeil Whistler.
Double-sweep – An extremely ornate Rococo frame from the mid-18th century. Similar to sweep frames, double-sweep frames have both top and back frame rails that curve or sweep between large ornate corner and center cartouches.
