Ornamental Picture Book Frame - Gold-Leaf and Hand Bound

Artisans : Wood : Ornamental, Frames, Gold-leaf

 

An exquisite ornamental jeweled picture book, is hand bound with gold-leaf and a checkerboard cover and very dimensional. Completely hand made, painted and with such detail work that assures that no two were ever alike. Finished with a painted wooden knob, the book has an Alice-in-Wonderland quality that, opened or closed, will catch even the inattentive eye.

This measures 8.75 x 5.50 closed and nearly 12 inches opened including it's leather hinge binding and would take two approximately 3x5 photographs. (SEE the many wonderful photographs and close ups we have of the detailed work!) In some photographs the diamonds may look blue but they are a deep, rich, textured jeweltone purple with a surround of an even deeper purple

Created by Rich and Kate Donnelly who started their studio in 1991, moved to the Northeast in 1994 and were creating these by hand themselves. Now they have grown into a larger company that sells through some of the finest galleries and art stores throughout the USA. They no longer create these Ornamental Picture Books.
