Quintisentially 18th century pretty oval frames available in 4 sizes ranging from the tiniest which could aslo be used in 24th scale.

You could add a mirror or a little portrait to each frame or maybe even a lovely little tapestry!

Made from either metal or resin (metal shown in image)

The smallest would look lovely on a table with a watercolour portrait, The next side could also be found on a table but equally would look splendid on the wall. The final two sizes are still relatively moderate and delicate and would loke so pretty either side of a bed or maybe above a small table.

NOTES

As with all my metal/resin designs the pieces will require a little cleaning using a file and/or sandpaper. The metal is very soft so this is a simple and satifying part of the build process. 

I tend to use superglue (Hafixx being my favoured choice) with a super glue activator to speed things up. 

To paint the item I strongly recommend a metal primer. Spray primers are the easiest and just a light coat with give the paint something to 'key' with......then the choice is yours. I use all types of paints from acrylics to cellulose spray paints. All have their own merits and so I choose according to the finish I wish to create. 

After applying my coats of paint I will always add an aging layer of raw umber acrylic (water it down and then paint and wipe off to leave the dark paint in the recesses). Aging can be very rewarding and there are many options for this. One little recommendation is to use rotten stone/pumice stone powder to add what I like to describe as "dust" to the piece. It is a powder and will always be a powder unless mixed with a binder such as glue. The powder is a soft grey and if it is brished on then off it will leave a slight dusting in the recesses of the design. 

A final flourish of splatter (very subtle brown/grey applied with by splattering the paint from a bristled brush such as a toothbrush) adds a little more interest.
