BECHER-CARTER FINE ARTS provides handmade frames and a variety of images. Gold, Dutch leaf and hand painted finishes are available using the European "gesso" process. This method of painting and sanding layer after layer of clay over wood prepares the frame to a perfect smoothness providing a desirable surface for fine finishing. These distressed frames reveal rich colors beneath the gold resulting in an aged patina.   Select Category Animals Contemporary Botanicals Whimsical Nauticals Sports Rustic Architecture Photo Frames Geography Mirrors
