Budget Compromises That Aren’t so Bad: Now, Millions of Self-Decorators Can Buy Prints of "Period Gilded Frames" Like They Buy Fine Art Posters

Birmingham, AL, November 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Finally, self-decorators to artists can buy paper-reproductions of “antique gilded frames” like they buy fine art posters. Made of mat board, they “pop-up” to become a three-dimensional period frame worthy of a museum.

In fact, the frames are now sold at the J. Paul Getty Museum store in Los Angeles, CA. "As I walked the16th and 17th century galleries at the Getty, I was stunned at how my French Rococo and Italian Baroque motifs captured the look of the originals framing the masters," said Suzette Mehler, President.

Recognizing the millions of women who “devour” décor magazines each year, Faux Museum, Inc. of Long Beach, CA, knows the heavily featured and desirous “gold frame” is not an affordable option for most of the readership, so they made them out of card stock.

Made of 1/16” mat board (normally used as matting for framing), its smooth photo surface starts flat and folds to create its extra deep dimensional structure. They offer the standard photo and paper sizes, but of note is the poster frame that measures nearly 3’ high.

Faux Museum, Inc. has signed a contract with Southeastern Booksellers, LLC, of Birmingham, AL, a nine-state sales group that will sell to independents and major retailers throughout parts of the U.S. The frames are currently sold at several museum stores and boutiques.

The frames are the art, giving makeover results similar to those found in décor magazines. To find a retailer and to order online, visit www.fauxmuseum.com.

Cost starts at $9 to $28 for standard photo sizes and $60 for the poster size.
