The Gilded Edge : The Art of the Frame

Description

Originally published in 2000, The Gilded Edge was the first book to offer an in-depth look at America s legacy of exquisite antique picture frames. Studied and appreciated in Europe for many years, frame connoisseurship was neglected in America until Eli Wilner created this lushly illustrated celebration of the craft. Reissued with a beautiful new jacket and an updated introduction by the author, this invaluable guide showcases frames as works of art through an array of insightful essays by art-world luminaries and a plethora of sumptuous photographs.
