About Handmade Frames: In 1992, artists Paul Baumann and Marilyn Gold created their first line of handmade frames, painstakingly hand-painted, rubbed and waxed, using original finishes developed from their own experience as painters. Their vision was to create frames that were rich and beautiful in their own right, while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the artwork and doing everything possible to preserve and protect each piece. Baumann and Gold's vision found a ready and enthusiastic clientele. For more than twenty years, they have worked with artists, collectors, decorators, galleries and museums to create safe, unique settings for countless works of art.
