Gold Frame for Framed Canvas

Our gold frames are designed with a vintage-inspired finish. This means you may notice subtle patina, tool marks, colour variation and aged accents that give each frame character-these are intentional, not defects. This page explains what to expect so you can shop with confidence.

At a Glance

Style: vintage/antique gold with hand-finished patina
Look: warm gold tone with soft burnishing and aged specks
Feel: lightly textured; smooth to the touch on the face, with occasional distressed edges
Uniqueness: no two frames are exactly the same

What to Expect (Normal Characteristics)

These details are part of the design and may vary from frame to frame:

Subtle colour variation
Slight differences in gold tone or shading across the moulding.
Patina & speckling
Fine specks, freckles or cloudy areas created by the antiquing process.
Brush & leafing marks
Faint lines or overlaps from hand-finishing/leafing visible at certain angles.
Edge burnishing
Deliberately darkened/highlighted edges and corners to give a gently worn look.
Minor surface texture
Tiny pits, indents or ripple-like texture on the surface—cosmetic only.
Corner joins
Neat mitre joins with light variation around seams due to the finish.
Micro-scratches
Hairline marks that appear under strong light; typical of the antique effect.

All of the above are cosmetic and do not affect the frame’s structure or durability.

What Is Not Considered a Defect

Natural patina, speckling or colour variation in the gold colour finish
Visible hand-finishing/leafing lines or overlaps
Slight irregularities at mitre corners
Minor texture such as tiny pits, freckles or micro-scratches
Subtle differences between frames due to hand-applied process.
