The cassetta is a classic frame type dating back to the Renaissance. It’s characterized by a flat with inner and outer moldings. In this case the flat is lap-joined. We designed this frame to be both rustic but also formal to echo the accomplished rendering of forms.
It’s a privilege to frame a William Keith, one of the true masters of California painting, and to frame this extraordinary work of his was a real honor.
