Oak Box Frame: Vintage Owl Fan
This delightful hand painted vintage fan is Box Framed using a deep profile Oak moulding. After sanding and sealing the frame was hand finished with several coats of clear wax.
The fan itself was mounted on Conservation board with hand cut 30mm deep matching spacers. The glazing used with this frame is Water White glass, a good cost effective alternative to ordinary framing glass. Water White has a low iron content resulting in a marked decrease in 'colour shift' - allowing the colour to appear as it would without glazing. Here the greys appear less dark than they would have done under regular float glass. The Oak moulding used is a flat 20 x 48mm and the overall size of this frame is 260 x 370mm
