Source for closed corner frames

[Lance E]

Hi all, I have a customer who does a lot of grunged up, gothic/punk style of work and needs big closed corner silver frames with excessive embellishment, any idea on reliable sources?

Lance,
Rectangles obviously ?

All States Frames have some from memory that might suit.

Does Websters carry some of their frames in NZ ?
(I know they were an agent there a number of years ago, and probably still are.)

I have contacted All States - yet to hear back. Websters has been gone for a number of years now.

What do they consider "excessive"?

What the heck IS that, Baer? Did you do that?

(Very timely for Halloween.)

Do you care about price?(beyond the obvious) I can name a dozen reliable cc makers that can do anything you want. Whynots company, American Choice, does some realy cool designs that I think could easily work right into that gothic theme for one. Companies like APF/Munn, CDNV, Rhonda Fineman, AMCI and Gold Leaf Frame Makers make their living off of doing anything your heart desires. Alas these companies all come with a high price tag.

Price is not a big issue but we were considering using cheapo frames so as we could easily smack them about and make them look as knackered as the images in them... Is there any el'cheapo's you know of?

I will be going through websites with customer for the ones you mention though - thanks.

 

[Lance E]

oh, Baer, thats not even close to excessive compared to some of the photos...

None of the frame makers I suggested do anything in the realm of "el cheepo" but they will knacker them to whatever level you prefer. You're going to have a hard time finding premade cc frames with any strong embeleshments I imagine.
