This frame doesn't look shiny when on the wall, it's just being out in the daylight.

That's a beautiful frame/piece Aza! Wow. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes I actually thought about doing what you just suggested and was going to bring it up with my framer. The only concern I have is that it's going to be hung in a ultra modern home/space where every frame on the rest of the artwork is extremely simple, square frame. I fear that the Mona print is just a bit too small in dimension to really work well with ornament frame. However I'll have to sleep on it and I'll be sure to show this photo to Framing Devil and see what he thinks too. Love the matting on yours too!

My house is a mix of modern and old, I personally think the contrast works really well when done right.

Dolk Last Mona Framing advise., by thisisanton on Mar 27, 2015 15:32:54 GMT 1, The black ornate frame and black mat works really well with this image. I would make the mat too wide. Or you can go with a simple black gloss frame with a double mat. Red on the bottom and black on top? I think the red will frame the image nicely.

Hey Aza, what is "source"? I'm going to try and find the same frame. Can you lead me in the right direction? thanks!

Send a PM to misterframeman, who is a member here.
He made the frame for me and will be able to help...there may be a smaller width version.

Ahhh Got it. I think Misterframeman also used that frame on a Blek "Last Tango" now that I think about it. It's a beauty.
I hurts me to say it, but I think I have no choice but to go with a more modern frame solely based on the space that it's going to be framed in. It's just such a correctly executed ultra modern space that the frame may really stick out like a sore thumb.
Thanks for all the input Aza.

The modern option I would go with is no mount and white smooth frame.
That's my other favourite style and always looks great.

The museum glass was a large part of that cost though.
