“Hump in the Middle” Frames

November 19, 2015 By

Antique Frames: “Hump in the Middle" Frames

These American antique frames were made in the 1860’s, though some were made in the 1840’s as well.  Their technical name, as I understand it, is astragal or bolection (or bolextion).  Since these terms are not widely known among people who are looking for frames, I call their profile “hump in the middle’” and this seems to provide a useful  description. These antique frames were used on a wide variety of paintings.  They are especially good as portrait frames, landscape frames, folk art frames, and  mirror frames.

We have a very large inventory.
