Ornate Picture Frames

Ornate frames; swept, carved and moulded, in gilt, gold and gesso. The decorative end of the collection, where the frame is as much the point as what goes in it.

This page brings together original antique frames in fixed sizes and our made-to-measure styles, which are handmade in England to your own dimensions. Picture sizes shown are the size of the artwork the frame takes, not the outer dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

Are your frames new?

Not in the usual sense. Every frame we sell is antique, vintage or handmade to order in an antique style.

Antique and vintage frames show their age in small marks and wear, which we see as part of their charm and character rather than a fault.

What are your frames made of?

Our antique and vintage frames are made of wood, often with ornate detailing in gesso or resin. If a frame is made of anything else, we say so in its description.

How does frame sizing work?

Frame sizes refer to the picture size: the size of the artwork, print or mirror the frame holds, not the overall outside size of the frame.

The width of the moulding (the frame itself) is given at the end of each listing title and in the description.

Do the frames come with glass, a mount or backing?

Our frames are sold as the frame only. If you would like glass, a mount or a backing board, tick the boxes above the Add to Cart button when you order. We will email you a quote for the extras after your order, and nothing extra is charged at checkout.

For hanging fixings, or to talk it through first, get in touch.

How long will delivery take?

Items in stock are usually delivered within 3 to 5 working days. Made-to-measure frames are dispatched once they have been made.

If you need something sooner, get in touch and we will do our best to help.

Which couriers do you use?

In the UK we send parcels with DPD or UPS, and use a trusted van courier for larger items such as big frames and furniture.
