Frame and Framer

There's been a run on oversized jobs at the shop. Here are 2 recent stand-outs. Above is a huge linen-backed vintage French advertising poster for foie gras. The piece is SO oversized that it is greater than 40 x 60" (the largest glass we use), and the customer requested museum glazing. Luckily, almost on the same day the order was placed, 48 x 96" museum plexi was born and made available to framers. Hooray!

And this one is a pencil sketch done 40 years ago by a fascinating customer who is a master hand-carver of wooden ventriloquist dummies and also a professional exterminator. (I meet the most amazing people!) It's roughly 20 x 60" and is framed with a suede top mat.
