We have just completed a frame refurbishment job -cut down and re-join broken frame - reduce glass,double mount etc and re-fit a signed Artist's proof print that was originally 'Custom Framed at the HOBBY LOBBY Creative Center'.
The moulding is stamped Frame Mica 95325A Made in USA. about 2 1/4" wide on a pine base with, what looks like to me, a plasticised paper wrap giving the effect of a dark wood burr veneer.
The frame corners were joined with 2 brown plastic
wedges from underneath, that appear to have been slotted into pre-cut grooves, much the same as underpinned wedges (V nails?).Not much glue apparent.
The mats came complete with acid brown bevels. The print was taped using a thinnish tissue-like self adhesive tape across the top and bottom of the print. The 'Certificate of Authenticity' pasted onto the back cover paper was issued by ART BROKERS OF COLORAD0.
I get the impression that the 'Hobby Lobby Creative Centre' might have more than one outlet.
Can you please advise?
