Rope Moulding Adds Refining Touch to Painting

Rope moulding is such a classic look that it has been used for hundreds of years in decorating and in fine art. Here is an example of some beautiful rope framing used for a reproduction of a 19th century maritime painting. Our customer David L. Green, who hails from the UK, is a talented artist who used Osborne’s 3/4″ Half-Round Rope Moulding, part 891423, to frame his reproduction of “The Royal Barge off Cowes.” The painting was originally painted by Arthur Wellington Fowles in 1879, who was a prolific maritime artist, and has many works featured widely at different galleries. Osborne Wood Products is really proud to provide moulding for such a beautiful piece of art–thanks for sharing with us David!

The choice to include Osborne’s moulding in a picture frame, on the edges of furniture, cabinets or shelves can make the difference between “alright” and “fantastic” in your woodworking project. Decorative moulding is a simple yet elegant way to add instant style. At Osborne Wood Products, you will find a full line of moulding, including bamboo, reeded, beaded, fluted, roped, basketweave, and even hand-carved!
