In honor of @asiaweekny (Sept. 14 - 23), we’re sharing this work we framed for client Frederich Jahn. The painting is of Hung Wu, the 1st emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The artist is unknown, but the work was believed to be painted in the Chien Lung Period (1736-1795) - Ching Period (1796-1821). Former Bark designer Paul Jordan worked with the client to create this frame for the work: it's a variation on our Regent profile milled in mahogany, and finished with a hand painted casein. The work is glazed in Optium 4.5 mm. #BarkFrameworks #woodwork #framedesign #asiaweekny #optium #MingDynasty #ChuYuanChang #asianart #worksonpaper #framedbyBark #hungwu #nycartworld #artcollectors #artcollections (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CitC1bvr26f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This 1927 child’s portrait needed fresh conservation framing that looked original. We think this custom French mat did the trick. We added Optium Acrylic for shatterproof, scratch proof, nearly invisible UV protection. #preservation #conservation #frenchmatting #Optium (at The Village Framer)

(2/2) A detail of the brass-framed Kunisada print is hinged to a 100% cotton rag board island window mat. Fillets cut to match the off-white color of the matting line the thin frame, which is finished with a patina and light wax. The frame is glazed in Optium 3mm acrylic, which is UV-blocking and non-reflective. #brassframes #fillets #artpreservation #matting #hinging #customframes #barkframeworks #japanesewoodblockprints #prints #kunisada #optium #nycframers #metalframes
