Artifacts: Gilders, Frame makers, Restorations, and Fine Art Gallery This article supports one of the reasons I educate my clients on the benefits of getting hand-made frames from a shop like Artifacts---we exclusively use domestic forest products for our finished frames.

Artifacts: Gilders, Frame makers, Restorations, and Fine Art Gallery Reposting image from the Tajan catalog sale 2005 because the link seems to be broken. Inspiration comes from many sources: in this case it is the gold and lacquer work of Gaston Suisse on a circa 1925 folding screen: lacquer, with gold leaf, oxidized white gold, copper, and silver leaf.
