Framing a Canvas Painting

Hello, my name is Amitavah Bhattacheri and I am speaking on behalf of Expert Village. I represent my company, which is Abstract Frames and Supplies Private limited which is based in Calcutta. I would like to show you a professional frame complete in all respects. It?s basically a water color painting. Now in this frame there is a very special issue because there are two layers of mounts. It is called a double mount. We use a mechanized mount cutter to cut the mount and you will see the edges are at a 45 degree angle. it gives an effect of depth of in the painting. Regarding the frame, I would like to say this is a synthetic frame. This is not a wooden frame though it is of the color of wood. And it appears as if it has been polished but we are trying to sell synthetic frames so we do not use wood; which is not available. It has to be seasoned. It has to be polished. There is a lot of labor involved and it will not be as uniform as you see the synthetic frame is. I hope I have been able to make this point clear. Thank you.
