From the somewhat crude Louis XIII to the precise Louis XIV to the elegant Louis XV, French frames are the "Coup De Gras" in frame design.
French frames effectively celebrate a work of art and reward it's viewer with a strong statement for the art work. Not for the faint of heart, French frames consist of strong flued design with an organic feel. Flowers and shells, vines and scrolls mix sculpture and archetecture for the desired effect.
French frames are feminine in nature, however they can also be used to overstate the value of any painting.
Contemporary paintings are often justaposed with a French frame, creating and unusually pleasing combination.
