Corner ornaments and clay rubs are beautiful ways to add interest to framed artwork.

For this piece, our client wanted a frame that spoke to the time period of the print without being ostentatious. We began by choosing a slim, white gold frame with a periwinkle blue clay rub underneath. We liked the curves of the frame, but wanted a touch of ornamentation.

Adding a floral corner ornament provided the perfect solution and complimented the botanical elements in the print. The blue rub tied the frame to the child’s dress and – combined with the corner ornament – brought to mind simple flowers such as pansies and sweet peas. The effect was somewhat whimsical – quite fitting for such a sweet print.
