Frame Design by David Lantrip, MCPF, GCF Framing Stained Glass
Frame Design by David Lantrip, MCPF, GCF Framing Stained Glass skilled framer needs to be prepared to han- dle just about any form of artwork a cus- Atomer presents. Artwork that is seen less often can test a framer’s nerves since the particular needs and framing methods of that type of art might not come readily to mind. This is precisely why framers need to be prepared beforehand. After all, the design counter is not the place to learn about framing new type of artwork if the customer is to have confidence that the job will be done right. One such type of art is stained glass. Despite the fact that stained glass as an art has existed for 1,000 years, it’s not every day that someone brings a piece in to be framed. Displaying stained glass Traditional stained glass work, such as may seem intimidating, that found in but it can be framed churches and important build- and handled routinely ings, is worked in Stained glass worked in the Tiffany method midway through the lead came the soldering process. Once the soldering is complete, a small by following a few metal frame is applied, the solder has a patina applied, and the method. Relatively entire piece is cleaned and polished. basic design principles large pieces of glass, cut to shape, are held within H-shaped channels of lead known as foil strip, usually about ¼” wide, to the edge of the “came.” The ends of the came are soldered to adja- individual pieces of glass, burnishing and folding it cent pieces, and the glass is held tight with mastic to either side of the glass. -
Century American Gilded Picture Frames Hugh Glover
Tech Notes, Fall 2006 Care and use of 19th-century American gilded picture frames Hugh Glover icture frames are a component of most art collections and are subject to wear and tear in their functional role surrounding paint- P ings. Damage to frames occurs during exhibition, storage, and travel, and is caused by handling, hanging processes, adverse environments, neglect, and irreversible restorations. Picture frames are maintained by a variety of preservation specialist and their preservation interests have only rarely been addressed. The following is Section 4 of a larger paper, “A Description of 19th- Century American Gilded Picture Frames and an Outline of their Modern Use and Conservation,” presented in June to the Wooden Artifact Group at the 2006 annual meeting of AIC in Providence, Rhode Island. This sec- tion addresses general preservation, handling and preparation of frames for exhibition. Environment Gilded wood objects are ultra sensitive to environmental conditions and are probably more sensitive than most paintings. Gilded wood in adverse climates experiences detachment and loss of gilding/or- nament, while the accumulation of grime leads to surface darkening and cleaning campaigns that may well cause damage. The protected bright gilding that survives on shadow boxed frames of the second half-century illustrates how more exposed gilding has now been altered by grime, abrasion, and staining from moisture and grease during handling. Handling All gilded objects should be handled with non-marring gloves to avoid abrasions and staining, and even paper towels or cotton cloth will suffice. In practice, however, gilded frames are still handled with bare hands as the frame is considered a safe means of handling the artwork. -

Japanning 101. Japanning in a Can, Easy Peasy
Japanning 101. Japanning in a Can, Easy Peasy For a full discussion on various japanning mixes, quality of finish, durability and tips and techniques for success, refer to my earlier article, Japanning, or The Art of Embracing the Arcane at www.aPlaneLife.us. I highly recommend reading this article before beginning your project to understand the various mixtures and results. Have proper expectations goes a long way toward success. At the request of some readers, this series of articles will serve as a condensed, “how-to” for japanning an antique cast iron hand plane using various japanning products and mixtures. This series will start with the easiest method, commercially available japanning mix. This article will only cover the use of commercially available Rio Grande Asphaltum Varnish, although the tips and techniques should apply equally well to another commercially available pre-mixed japanning, Old PontyPool. I have chosen to focus on the Rio Grande product as I have significant experience using it, and it is very favorably priced compared to Old PontyPool. Affordable, economically sized and delivered to your door, easy. This product delivers a very deep, rich finish. Absolutely beautiful. Rio Grande Jewelers Asphaltum Varnish is available in pint cans online for about $17.00 plus shipping. Old PontyPool is sold by the quart at around $84.00 plus shipping. A pint of asphaltum varnish should cover about 15 size 4 hand planes. Old PontyPool may have more favorable performance, I have not used it, but given a limited shelf life and the quantity sold, I believe more people will be satisfied with the Rio Grande product. -

Structural Conservation of Panel Paintings 306
PART FOUR Current Approaches to the Structural Conservation of Panel Paintings 306 Florentine Structural Stabilization Techniques Andrea Rothe and Giovanni Marussich by the great flood of 1966 in Florence than by both World Wars combined. Many paintings Mand other artifacts were submerged in the floodwaters for more than eighteen hours. They were covered with mud mixed with heavy deposits of heating oil that had seeped from the storage tanks housed in the many basements of the city.The worst damage was done to the large num- ber of panel paintings in Florence and the surrounding countryside; those that had been submerged swelled many inches beyond their original size. Subsequently, these paintings were subjected to a long and gradual drying process, first in the limonaia, the old hothouses built by the Medici in the Boboli Gardens for their favorite collection of citrus plants. These hothouses were quickly converted into one large humidity chamber. The humidity was raised to 95% at a temperature of 12 °C over a two-year period. Afterward, the treatment was continued in the former army bar- racks of the Fortezza da Basso, which in the meantime had been trans- formed into the largest restoration laboratory in the world; it had, in fact, become an independent governmental department, a soprintendenza, by special decree. Despite the carefully controlled drying process, many of the panels shrank considerably. This shrinkage caused severe blistering and cupping of the paint layers, as well as deformation of the supports (Cianfanelli, Ciani Passeri, and Rossi Scarzanella 1992). Consequently, many of the panel paintings had to be transferred to canvases and to new, rigid supports. -
