Description
"The Gilded Edge is the first book to offer an in-depth look at the exquisite antique frames made in America over the last two centuries. Comprising diverse essays by art world luminaries, museum curators, private collectors, and independent scholars, this richly illustrated volume covers topics ranging from frame history and fabrication to the skill of expertly matching frames to artwork. Unlike most art books that depict paintings without their frames, The Gilded Edge presents a plethora of sumptuous photographs that showcase frames in relation to the paintings they border - and as works of art themselves. An accessible reference for admirers of fine and decorative arts, this is an invaluable guide to making the already beautiful even more so."--BOOK JACKET.
