must have: harry allen picture frameby brett |
One of the most valuable tenets of antique-hunting that I’ve picked up? Look past the art — look at the frame! There are so many grand, baroque frames wasted on awful paint-by-numbers pieces (you know the type — creepy clowns, and possibly even more disturbing, those crying kids… Eek…) that are just dying for reinvention with a lick of pristine white paint. Or, if you’re not so DIY-inclined, you can get the look with Harry Allen’s gorgeous picture frame. Based on an antique frame Harry found in his brother’s closet, it’s recreated in glorious detail in trendy resin.

Love it! So baroque!
I love it! I have several of these in my home, and my business. I also have painted them a high gloss black and both look fantastic!
That is a gorgeous frame! It’s amazing what white paint can do! You editors have all the brilliant ideas!
