One of the most dramatic recent framing changes has been the removal of the additional 16th century style replica frame from the narrow original moulding on this portrait by Ghirlandaio at the Ashmolean. These narrow portrait frames were once common, but have almost all gone.

An octagonal ceiling painting of Christ Resurrection by Tintoretto, which had been turned into a rectangular galley picture, was re-framed at the Ashmolean Museum this week. I carved a frame based on Venetian 16th century ceilings to cover the additions.

We replaced the sharp 1970s piano polished ripple and gilded sight edge frame with a newly acquired Dutch 17th century ebonised fruitwood reverse moulding on Jacob van Ruisdael’s Watermill this morning.

Today we replaced the gilded (several times re-gilded and cut) French 18th century frame with a Dutch 17th century Ebony hollow with ripple sight edge on Rembrandt’s Self Portrait at the Age of 34 - now R. has a tangible presence in the room, the illusion has come to life.

We replaced the 1950s replica frame with a newly acquired gilded Italian 15th century moulding with blue sgraffito ornament on Cosimo Tura’s Saint Jerome. The old frame wasn’t terrible, but it is an absolute miracle to come across such an early moulding in perfect condition.

We replaced the re-gilded French 18th century frame with a newly acquired Dutch 17th century burr walnut and ripple moulding frame on Gerhard ter Borch’s interior of a Woman playing a Lute. The difference is that we now look into rather than at the room.

We re-framed Seurat’s Study for La Grande Jatte temporarily for the upcoming Radical Harmony exhibition, the shadow of the Louis XIII frame was a massive distraction

@christiwhittem There is no other change, the images were taken under the same lighting conditions in the same location.

We replaced a very poor 1970s version of a carved and gilded 16th century frame with a newly acquired Venetian early 16th century carved and partially gilded walnut frame on Titian‘s Noli me Tangere.

We changed the frame on ter Borch’s interior with the restful dog today. We replaced the altered and re-gilded French 18th century frame with a newly acquired brown Dutch 17th century palisander wood frame. Simple refined profiles executed in very precious materials are typical

We replaced the 19th century gilded egg and dart frame with a newly made replica of a Flemish 16th century black and gold oak cassetta frame with continuous arabesque ornament. Wall colour, lighting and condition of the painting have also improved.
