Fragrant sunshine bursting from a #bulb - this first day of #Spring is looking better on #18thCentury #PithPaper.

I’ve always found the application of simulated marks of age and wear on antique reproduction frames to be a distressing feat. Here, an antique, painted, jointed linen doll of #Ganesha resides humbly in a well weathered reeded frame of black-over-yellow. #bespokeFRāMist #bespokeframers #boisdoré #cadre #DecorativeArts #stackofstyle #maximalist #métiersdelamain #oldworldtradition #preservation&conservation #nycframist #FRāMist

You've heard it, "life is short." This was the perfect opportunity to breathe new life to a sentimentalist's ancestral piece for a different generation. Implementing color to this Civil War era #frame and employing whimsy we are able to salvage integrity through presentation...taking and orphaned #antique and lending its forever-home in the bosom of #ModernArt . At once this gritty social 1952 interaction of tempera on paper is urbanized in the perfect smoke and frosty lavender. #PaulCadmus #Finistere #MagicRealism #ArtCollector #Americana #AmericanWalnut #DragonsBlood #EasternBlackWalnut #Gamboge #Hardwood #IndustrialRevolution #Meca #SilverLeaf #Victoriana #FRāMist

The marriage of old and new have consummated many a style dilemma...this acumen of #cushionedMinimalism is becoming one of my favored aesthetic mantras. Texture. Look and touch. Creating depth and variety as appealing to the eye as it is under the fingertips is what makes this work. And, always color! #VenetianMirror #lookingglass #églomisé #verreéglomisé #bespokeFRāMist #bespokeframers #conciergeframing #boisdoré #cadre #colordoesnotdiscriminate #DecorativeArts #stackofstyle #domicilliumdomesticus #ExtraFancy #frameofmind #inthePink #peonies #métiersdelamain #oldworldtradition #preservation&conservation #nycframist #FRāMist

An entire focal wall's design implement dictated by a singular adjacent 18th century bench...Tone.

An attempt at random placement is at once calculated. This #Connoisseur 's #Collection of #BrettWeston #photography spans nearly 70years of the artist's career. Weston's middle-distance tableaux and close-up abstractions are uniformly framed and given breadth to emphasize the"significant details"...reconnoitering form, texture, shadow, and light. #Assemblage #bespokeFRāMist #BlackandWhite #CapFrame #Classic #CleanLines #Collections #ContemporaryTraditional #cushionedMinimalism #economyofline #FramewithinFrame #GalleryWall #Install #Kaleidoscope #métiersdelamain #Monochromatic #PhotoCollage #SilverGelatinPrint #stackofstyle #threemakesacollection #Timeless #conciergeframing #nycframist #FRāMist
