A Historical Perspective
The use of frames and borders in art has a long and storied history, dating back to ancient times. In ancient Egypt, frames were used to protect valuable religious texts and paintings, while in medieval Europe, illuminated manuscripts featured elaborate borders adorned with intricate designs and gold leaf.
During the Renaissance, frames became more elaborate and ornate, often incorporating classical motifs and allegorical figures. The Baroque period saw a further explosion of decorative excess, with frames featuring elaborate carvings, gilding, and sculptural elements.
As the 19th century approached, a shift towards simpler and more restrained styles emerged, with frames becoming more functional and less ostentatious. However, the early 20th century witnessed a revival of interest in historical design, leading to a renewed appreciation for the decorative frames and borders of the past.
