How Do You Reframe An Antique Painting?
The joy of owning an antique painting can be somewhat marred if the painting is in a hideous frame. Incorporating an antique painting into your décor can be fun and challenging. Modern sensibilities have long sought refuge in classic designs and the richness of antiques is pleasing to almost all art palettes. If you choose to reframe an antique painting you must be careful that you do not destroy the whimsy of the original framing sentiment. Consider leaving the painting in its current frame when it’s undamaged. Reframing an antique painting can be perilous and result in damage to the painting. If it’s at all possible, leave the painting in its original frame. Choose to reframe when the frame is detestable, takes away from the value of the piece, or is cracked or damaged beyond repair. Proceed with caution as you may be taking a calculated risk. Enlist advice from a professional and explain you’re going to do it yourself. Look at the area where you plan on displaying the painting.
