The "antique" look...

This gorgeous needlepoint was done by Shirley Guillot of Thibodaux, La. Her daughter lives in an "old" house and wanted the frame to have the "antique" look. You can tell looking at these two photos the frame really looks old and is a perfect match with the needlepoint. As always, when the proper matboard(s) and frame are chosen, they enhance the art and NOT distracting the beauty of it. The size of the needlepoint is 13" x 17". The outside dimensions of the frame is 22" x 26".

(As I mentioned before, photos do not always show the true color of matboards, frame, etc., but, it these photos, the colors are pretty close.)
