Painting Frames "Traudl" |
| • Serie: Lerida • Width: 28mm • Height: 25mm |
| What we particularly like about Traudl is the interplay between the light antique silver and the warm, brownish traces. The wooden frame has a subtle patina that emphasises its delicate surface texture: delicate lines and darker indentations enliven the silver colour without overshadowing the visual impact of the picture. This creates a gentle sheen that does not appear cold or reflective. The profile is designed as a cove moulding: from the raised outer edge, the broad surface slopes downwards in a soft, concave curve towards the picture side. There, narrow, rounded profile lines form a clear boundary. This shape is reminiscent of traditional moulded frames, whose recessed surface acts as a bridge between the outer edge and the image. With ‘Traudl’, the narrow raised sections capture the light as bright lines, whilst the concave section displays softer gradations of brightness. The darker accents make this structure clearly visible. Measuring 28 mm in width and 25 mm in height, the moulding remains compact, yet its rounded profile lends it a noticeable sense of depth. We are happy to recommend Traudl for atmospheric landscapes in muted shades of green and brown, or for finely graded black-and-white photographs. Its vibrant surface comes into its own best when the subject provides a sense of calm. For us, it is a lovely choice for images that benefit from a gentle, clearly defined border. |
