Sometimes I get distracted in art galleries by the frames. I know it's probably not very fashionable to say this but I love a good old gilded number. I love flourishes, gold leaf and crazy, baroque embellishment. It doesn't work on everything - you wouldn't want your modern so and so in one of these bad boys would you? - but it's almost necessary that if you're lucky enough to own a Turner, or a Rembrandt or a Caravaggio then it had better be in a frame like this.

I completely agree :)
Whenever my mum and I are in a gallery we choose our favourite pictures and our favourite frames. Frames are so important!
Sarah Dee - there's something about a hit of gold, isn't there?
Dot - I'm so happy that I'm not the only one! Frames in Paris were so regal as well...
