What's New In Framing?

Larson Juhl has a new moulding line out called the "Petite II." Doesn't it make an elegant presentation for diploma's?

The silver, black and bronze comes in 3/4" wide, the bronze, black and three wood tones come in 15/16" wide.  Here's what Larson has to say about their new line:

An extension of the popular Petite collection launched in 2010, the new Petite II collection offers a smart variety of small scale mouldings in a multitude of timeless finishes and profile shapes. The Petite II collection introduces six new finishes to the popular #334 profile and a new profile that is finished with three new neutral metallic tones. The Petite II collection is a PEFC certified collection. PEFC, which stands for Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, traces the chain of custody of lumber product from forest to final product. This assortment of clean-lined modern profiles can be used as a liner to add texture and depth to frame designs or easily transformed by adding a fillet, expanding the uses of Petite II. The thoughtfully undersized shapes of the Petite II collection make these mouldings ideal for small spaces or for framing art meant to hang in groups.

Stop by and see what these beautiful mouldings could do for your diploma,  certificate, photo or art!

Here are a couple of interesting pieces we have framed lately.


 

Margie Douglas from Larson Juhl recently paid us a visit and brought with her their newest moulding line, "Lisbon". Inspired by the global origins of Lisbon, Portugal, the Lisbon Frame Collection embodies a look that is rich in history and sophistication. The Lisbon Collection introduces a unique overlaping Olivewood veneer look, in four warm finishes, available on two petite swan profiles.

 

Inspired by the tradition, elegance and grandeur of Biltmore in Asheville, North Carolina, the Biltmore Collection by Larson-Juhl fuses the classic beauty of Biltmore’s architecture and its magnificent treasures into a collection of fine frames for today’s homes.
