A framed print of my Shivering illustration depicting the iconic Saint Sebastian himself, lashed to a tree and struck by arrows in front of a stormy, mountainous landscape.
This vintage frame is entirely one of a kind, as it is hand-gilt in black gold, a synthetic gold alloy which is heat treated to give it a beautiful range of color. Hot spots of bright yellow gold flame up out of dark bronzes and steely gunmetal. It's rich and luxurious without being gaudy, and has the outlet effect of something with a lot of sumptuous patina, and can compliment a wide range of interior design styles and colors.
The print is black and white on a sturdy, off-white 100lb cardstock. It is housed in a white double mat with a cream core, which marries beautifully it to the warm notes of the frame.
The art itself measures 6.5" x 9.5" (or 16 x 24cm) and is in an 11" x 14" frame (29.5 x 38 cm)
As this is a hand-gilt piece, expect variation and small imperfections! Photos 4, 5 and 6 show the slight "cracking" of the gold, which reveals the bold red base beneath. (I say "cracking", but the finish of this frame is not expected to break apart, peel, etc. When laying loose leaf gold, it likes to separate and break in ways that look like cracks. The gold leaf has been thoroughly sealed for longevity.)
Frame has hardware for wall hanging.
