Asian style frames




Frame moldings in Chinese and Japanese styles have long been a specialty at Ted Gibson. Between Los Angeles' Chinese and Japanese communities and collectors of Asian art, there has always been a demand for these special moldings. They look especially good with fabric wrapped mats. The corners or even the whole frame can be gilt. These frames also look very good in a simple monochromatic lacquered finish in black or red. Additionally, the Asian style moldings can be made very deep to hold antique textiles or fans.
