I have been working in a high end shop.
Some clients want a specific type of frame for a specific piece and it has to be framed for the period it was created in.
eg dutch ripple or early american or fabric drop down thingy like great grandma had on this oil painting
sometimes they cant put into words that that is not the right frame even though the sample that is placed by sales person is old looking as they requested. Old doesn't work ..........what they are trying to say is I want a frame that is from that period like they would have used back then.
After an hour another sales person used to dealing with period works comes and and sees the table of old looking samples and pulls a specific frame of the wall and says this something-or-rather frame from the 1800's is just what you want...........and the client goes yes that is perfect i will have that one.........I like it..........that is what i wanted.
Has anybody experienced these types of situations and how does one deal with them?
