Summary

Works of art in their own right, frames play an essential and often overlooked role in complementing the artworks they support. The craft and history of European frames is a fascinating subject and this volume provides a rich and informative guide to the frame maker's art from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century. This handy reference guide features over two hundred entries--arranged alphabetically from abacus to whiting--that concisely explain the techniques, materials, and styles involved in the making of frames. It is lavishly illustrated with objects from the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Unique in its readable glossary format, this handbook will be invaluable not only to professionals and collectors but also to all those wishing to increase their understanding and enjoyment of frames.
