We love a good photograph, and it felt like a positive omen when locking up to cart the last of our stuff away from Norfolk Street, only to see a photographer shooting at the mouth of the alley. Great to meet you, and thanks for letting us capture the moment, @ps_toast! #photograph #photography #artist #sterlingartservices #image

@krznk and Jeffrey came bearing @nomadicground goodness to our rescue yesterday as we put temporary Sterling together. Thank you !!

A client brought in this pair of recently conserved oil painting portraits of her grandparents, from circa turn of the last century. She was great to work with and immediately grasped that understatement could be a successful way of approaching the frame architecture. While some may have followed an impulse toward greater opulence/embellishment with the frame design, she opted instead for using a clean walnut profile with a modicum of detailing to contextualize then with their era, while making them pleasurable to contemporary eyes. They came out beautifully. Also, these were the last frames made at Sterling by the talented Bobby McCole, aka @pyramidrecords . Enjoy! #framearchitecture #framing #sterlingartservices #paintings #portraits #artconservation #hardwood
