Carved and Gilded Cartouche

This cartouche, including the shell, had been lost from the early 18th century English looking glass. I carved and gilded the recreation based on research into a related group of looking glasses.

Carving in progress with detailing being laid out.

Carving almost finished.

Finished carving with gesso applied.

New recreation of early 19th frame and eglomize glass mat

This frame, with stamped edge detail and custom made gilded twists, and the eglomise glass mat, was commissioned for a needlework of the same period.

Empire Picture Frame

This gallery contains 6 photos.

Empire picture frame for needlework. This frame was terribly dirty and many of the decorative balls had been coated with metallic paint that had corroded. Patches of gilding had been worn from the cove. I cleaned everything, removed added paint and regilded where necessary.
