I have a client who we made some large frames for and they are keen
to re-sell rather than destroy them. The Royal Academy of Arts are
selling 7 large frames that are currently displaying works in their
Chinese exhibition, The Three Emperors:

6 large frames - UKP850 each

Beautifully made from Sapele wood with a natural waxed finish, the
frame section is 65mm across the face and 80mm deep with a 10 mm
bevel on the inside and outside edges and an internal depth of 65mm.
The frames are glazed with 6mm cast acrylic, glazing size is 2184 x
1341mm (86 x 52 7/8 inches), total frame size 2300 x 1425 x 80mm.
The backboards are made from a softwood frame and 3mm MDF onto which
is stuck a 2200 micron museum board.  They also have a stainless
steel ruler embedded in them for magnets to attach to (this was the
device used to secure the Chinese hanging scrolls inside the
frames).

1 large frame - UKP900

Framed as above in Sapele wood, no magnets. 1840 x 1655 mm rebate
size, glazed with 6mm acrylic.

If you are interested in purchasing any of the frames at these
greatly reduced prices, please contact
