Carefully hand crafted by wood artist Dustin Pearson, this frame is a work of art all unto itself. With it's detailed mouldings echoing the architectural arches found in the painting, Dusti has brought unity to the entire piece. Dustin has experience and expertise in the art of wood restoration, both with antique furniture and architecture. Here she has done the reverse, making the new appear centuries old. She has built this frame out of poplar and birchwood, added texture and layers of color giving this piece a rich and warm over all patina, it both feels and appears just as if it were centuries old.
Dustin has also gold leafed and hand carved the mouldings found on this piece and appplied the appropriate hardware for hanging on the back.
