PICTURE FRAMES.
WE direct the special attention of all Persons interested
in this subject, to the FRAMES for PICTURES
manufactured by Mr. Bielefield. They are of papier machee ;
and the advantages they possess over the ordinary composi-
tion frames are so strong and so numerous, that they must,
inevitably, be brought into general use. First, they are
cheaper ; being about two-thirds of the cost—much less, in-
deed, where the frame is of large size ; next, they will not
" chip" in carriage; and next, thy are so much lighter in
weight, as to supply an important item in their favour to
those who are in the habit of transmitting large pictures from
one place to another. This remarkable " lightness" is indeed
desirable everywhere ; for in many rooms, where the walls
are thin or aged, it is impossible to hang large pictures in the
usual ponderous frames. To exhibitors in provincial exhibi-
tions these are no ordinary recommendations. But we refer
chiefly to the appearance of those frames, which interests the
collector as well as the artist, and, indeed, all persons who
adorn their homes with pictures or prints, be they many or
few. They look exceedingly attractive, and are in reality as
much so as if they had passed through the hands of the
carver, and been produced at about ten times the expense.
The gilding tells with very brilliant effect; and, no matter
how elaborate the pattern may be, they have a clearness and
sharpness that we have seldom or never seen obtained in
composition. Now that so many frames will be required for
the prints about to be issued by the several Art-Union So-
cieties, we conceive we may convey useful information to
thousands, by recommending them to examine these frames ;
the patterns are infinitely varied ; some have been designed
expressly to meet those particular purposes; and their ad-
vantages are so obvious as to be at once appreciated by all by
whom they are seen.—Art Union.
