We produce and sell wooden mouldings for frames, from the classic and timeless style, such as the classic and gold-plated ones, to the modern mouldings like the chromed and hand-polished, or wood and plexiglass ones.
The mouldings for frames by Provasi are unique and original, handcrafted by our artisans with both high quality materials and techniques..
The frames in briar or in “arte povera” are usually made to contain antique prints, diplomas or certifications and awards. However, they are also widely appreciated to enhance the rustic ambiance or the strong character of a classic and elegant furnishing.
We use burl of maple, mahogany, walnut, hickory and elm, each embellished with wooden inserts like Greek, twisted, pearl, guilloche, etc.
The flat briar frames can be inlaid, with different colors and shapes, geometrical, graceful, Baroque and creative. The frame finishing, instead, can be wax- or sponge-polished.
The frames in “arte povera” are made from ramin wood, and go through a particular treatment (with chains and nails) to give them an older look. Their color can be mellowed with all kind of wooden shade: walnut, ebony, mahogany, natural. Just like the briar frames, they have carefully carved inlays.
The mouldings for coated frames originate from the Tuscany craftsmanship.
Made of pulpwood, they populate our catalogue with finishings of different shapes, leaves, fruit, waves and 17th-Century embroidery.
Over the last years, the pierced frames had a great success; they are created using the laser cut or the pantograph.
Their lightness and modernity make them a great furnishing element, able to give an unexpected touch of style and personality even to the simplest and barest room.
The mouldings for the classic frames create timeless complement furnishing, perfect for any part of your house to frame paintings, or to enhance prints and pictures.
The artisan technique of the gold or silver leaf (also known as gold-plating) has been known for centuries by artists and architects to embellish their creations, giving them an incredible brightness, while every color of the work would be enhanced by the solemnity and shine of the gold-leaf details.
Performing the gold plating means positioning, overlapping and manually fixing several extremely thin gold or silver foils on the frame. The effect on a wooden frame is striking, with a classic, elegant and majestic taste.
The mouldings for modern frames are lively, creative, shiny and come in different styles, shapes and colors. The strong point of these mouldings is their adaptability to any style of furnishing and space, always with taste and personality.
The shiny mouldings, hand-finished and sponge-polished, enjoy a great success lately.
For the creation of this new product, we combined the traditional wooden moulding with a modern material such as plexiglass.
The result is an original frame, adaptable to all kind of settings, from the classic to the most modern.
We have hundreds of unpolished frames to decorate with different colors and carvings.
