At Frame Today, we love bringing our customers' artwork to life with expert framing choices that enhance and protect their treasured pieces. Recently, Frame Today Mittagong had the pleasure of framing a stunning and unique artwork—"Chook on Plinth".
This remarkable portrait of a white hen, perched regally on a pedestal against a dramatic dark background, deserved a framing solution that would complement its striking composition while ensuring its longevity.
Selecting the Perfect Frame and Matboard
When choosing the right custom picture framing, our goal was to amplify the artwork's bold aesthetic while maintaining a timeless elegance. After exploring different options, the customer selected:
✅ Frame: The stunning "Corona" frame, featuring a crackled gold inner edge with a solid black exterior, was perfect for the piece, since the gold detailing adds a touch of classic sophistication and separation from the black frame finish to maintains a gallery look.
✅ Matboard: A deep black "Midnight Black" solid black-core matboard, which adds a rich, seamless border that draws the eye directly to the subject. This black-on-black effect enhances the contrast of the artwork, creating an almost gallery-like presentation.
Enhancing and Protecting with Tru Vue Ultra Vue Glass
To preserve the artwork for years to come, we added Tru-Vue Ultra Vue Glass—a premium choice that provides:
✔ Exceptional clarity, reducing reflections while maintaining true colours and details.
✔ UV protection, shielding the artwork from fading over time.
✔ A crystal-clear finish, ensuring the artwork remains the focal point without distractions.
This glass was chosen to ensure the artwork stood out in all its glory, free from glare and fully protected from environmental damage.
Beyond Framed Art: A True Statement Piece
With the combination of the deep black matboard, crackled gold and black frame and high-quality glass, this framed "Chook on Plinth" is now a true statement piece. The finished frame not only enhances the artwork’s regal presence but also ensures it remains a lasting treasure for the customer.
