Handcrafted 7" x 9" glass frame featuring two pieces of textured glass soldered together. Will accommodate an 5" x 7" image perfectly, but can also handle images and memorabilia slightly larger or smaller. The double-pane construction makes for easy replacement of photographs, just slide in between the 2 panes of glass and position. Small circular spacer helps hold the image in place. Primrose glass (large Japanese style blossoms), silver metal trim. Frame rests on it's own unique glass easel-style stand and can be positioned vertically or horozontally.
Ingo Williams opened his first studio in 1972 at the corner of Bedford and
Downing Streets in New York’s electric West Village. Over the years, influences from his surroundings seeped into his work, and Williams began to develop unique patterns and techniques - soldering two paralleled pieces of glass together, then resting architectural frames on unique glass stands. In it’s present form, the line is a collection of simple - yet eye catching - glass frames. Each, versatile and perfectly suited for photographs of many shapes and sizes. The subtle texturing of the glasswork brings attention to photographs, and the frames are especially impactful and artful when grouped together. Today, all of Bedford Downing’s unique handcrafted glass frames are still designed and created in New York…just across the river in Brooklyn.
