This triptych by Chris Gollon required three tray frames, the wood profile was custom made in obeche. The wood was then stained black, sealed and waxed. 3mm plywood backing board was finished in the same manner as the moulding and fixed to the frames. The three frames were then hinged to form a single unit. When closed the backs of the outer wings is visible and so a feature was made of the screws securing the the canvases to the plywood back. The brass screws thus become a decorative element of the final piece. The overall open size is 910 x 1170mm.
The study was reframed in 2018. The client chose a tray frame hand painted in Farrow & Ball's Mahogany. The poplar wood moulding was made to specification in the studio and the profile measures 13 x 45mm. The frame itself is 320 x 370mm overall.
