An added treat to the current exhibition Olin Travis: People, Places and Visions are the fabulous custom frames that so many of the pieces are mounted in.  A "custom frame" is one that is built in the raw, and gilded and finished afterwards - especially after the corners are joined, filled and sanded.  Often the frames one-off, and built up from profile sections, rather than one pre-made profile.  The actual finish of color, gilt and stain is selected to match the specific work the frame is made for.

Here is a sampling.
