20th Century Master Framemaker





Here is another example of a Robert Sielle frame, I posted about this framemaker some time ago here: Gesso Consolidation


This frame is typically bold and interesting in shape and design, a reverse profile with flat inner section and deep scoop outer. It's in need of some filling and tidying up around the edges. I think it's really good that the original frame is being kept with the painting it was made for, and not discarded for something else. I dread to think how many of Sielle's frames have been removed in favour of something more fashionable, which is a great shame.
