How is this sign made? Any ideas?

[Peter Dee]

I’d say it was bought from a Turkish street market.

[Robert Lambie]

god knows why shes asking a sign maker to recreate a picture frame. surely a picture framing company would be a good start?

only thing i would suggest and its far from the same. but make a simple frame and cover it in gold leaf vinyl.

Trouble is, she wants it with the same intricate pattern 😮

I thought it looked like some pre-moulded sheet, much like the sticky backed chequer plate plastic sheets you can get in the likes of The Range etc.

Ah well, worth an ask. Cheers fellas.

Best of luck. 😀

Have they not got taste 🙄

[Gwaredd Steele]

It’s usually 100% the designers choice to be fair. They just source it & fit.

[Stephen Morriss]

You can buy these from those crappy tat shops that sell home furnishings/gifts etc, not seen a gold one though 🙄

Not that I go in that sort of shop much

I have to agree with Robert, there really is no other way to deal with that one.

Other suggestion is, throw that one away and buy a pair of similarly nasty frames that match, who’d be any the wiser.

Another thing to consider is, how much do they expect to pay for it if you spend ages locating it or indeed getting it made??? And when people say, "I don’t care what it costs, I must have it" they’re very unlikely to actually mean it unless they own an oil refinary…
