I bought a lot of frames from a closed gallery. They said their frames came from JFM, Tara and another "guy" in California.

JFM doesn't have this on their website, and Tara no longer has frames on their website (seems they are discontinuing carrying frames, or at least gallery ones), so does this style look familiar to anyone?

Corners are closed. Stock 16x20, but I also bought from the gallery 11x11 and 15x15 and a host of other wacky sizes. I could use a few others in a larger size.

I really hate that linen liner look!

It's so tacky!
Get rid of that and it's a nice frame.
 
Any markings on the back of the frames.


Colonial Moulding does have a large selection of closed corner ready mades.


If you want some gallery frames that are the bomb check out International. Don't know any pricing but they do have some very high end stuff.

White linen liners = tacky?

Usually I look for not-bright-white liners on most pieces when I use liners, but are you anti-liner, or just this design? I'm curious because growing up in my father's shop in the 70's -90's he used liners on most pieces (albeit smaller ones when bright white) and he considered himself a more traditional and conservative framer regarding style.

San Diego or Ten-High....

Wood. I can see the subtle grain in the wood when looking from behind. It has the traditional stock-frame reinforcement corner triangles stapled in, and the back has ups-and-downs, so I can see it's not from a normal length material since it's not flat on the back. That's about all I can tell, and there's no markings or numbers.

I consider most all liners to be tacky. As you said, back in the70's - 90's he used linen liners. That is one reason I dislike them. They are dated in my mind. Plus I just plain don't like them. I only sell them if the customer specifically wants it. I don't offer nor show them... but that's just me.

Other than that, no problemo.

Gotcha. So on all canvases you frame, just frame to the art? What do others think about liners?

...and I've also used the Nurre palladio 1.5" square green and gold color-panel frames as a liner. Works really well on what I put them on, but they'd probably make you even more sick, framah. :)
 
I have no problem stacking mouldings to make an accent but not linen liners.:vomit::vomit:
 
In my shop we consider linen liners to be dated. We remove 20 of them from old frames for every one we add to a new frame. I do like them on some pieces though.
 
Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Any design element can be used incorrectly or to excess, the latter being the case with linen liners. Even black frames and white mats still are appropriate in the right circumstances.

On subject: My guess was Colonial...
 
Grow up, critcs! The design with light gold and a white liner is perfect with this picture, the gold with the highlights in her hair and the white enhances the light coming from her right. Good design doesn't have to follow fad - today's or yesterday's.

...and the painting just arrived, and coincidentally fit the frame that I bought from the other gallery. I like good coincidences. :)
 
Liners

I have to say I like liners on paintings, it can be linen or some other fabric. One of the things I like to do is cover my own liners with various different textiles for my customers. Recently I covered a liner with suede and it came out great. The customer loved it.
I have seen many fabric liners used in ways that I would never let myself do.I see quite a few pieces framed with glass between the linen liner and the frame, And that irritates me.
If it looks good whats wrong with using it?
