Corner Framing
High-End Corner Framing For Your Most Valuable Artwork
High-end corner picture framing refers to closed corner frames, which are museum-quality, handcrafted frames featuring seamless, finished corners created through intricate, traditional techniques rather than simply cutting and joining standard moldings. These frames are made with premium materials, meticulous finishing processes such as gilding, carving, or gesso, and offer superior durability, elegance, and a continuous artistic design around the frame.

Key Characteristics of High-End Closed Corner Frames
Seamless, Finished Corners:
The frame’s design flows uninterrupted around the corner, creating a high-quality, unified look.
Handcrafted:
They are not pre-assembled but are joined and finished by skilled artisans.
Premium Materials:
High-end woods like maple, walnut, or cherry are often used, along with materials such as gold leaf, gesso, and high-quality lacquers.
Artistic Finishing:
Techniques like hand-carving, applying cast composition, gilding, staining, and painting are used to create unique and intricate designs.
Superior Strength and Durability:
Stronger and more durable joinery, such as splined or mortise-and-tenon joints, is used to create a more stable and long-lasting frame.
Museum-Quality Craftsmanship:
The meticulous process and high-quality materials are preferred by museums, galleries, and collectors for their elegance and value.
How They Differ from Standard Frames
Standard Frames:
Mitered (cut and joined) corners where the pattern or design is interrupted.
Closed Corner Frames:
The individual lengths of molding are joined first, then the corner is finished and decorated as a single, continuous unit.
