Traditional `English swept` Frames

Lovely elegant frames - With matching corner and centre decorations - sometimes pierced - and with `sweeps` of bands around the outer edge in a series of gentle curves joining the corners and centres , these parts being carved and chiselled out by hand ( hence the name sometimes used of `chip-swept` frames ) , and often with swags of flowers and leaves spreading out and away from the corners..
