Frederic Lord Leighton was especially active in frame design much like the Pre-Raphaelites, and favored his original tabernacle-style designs for many of his paintings. Godward was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema (who also designed classically-inspired frames) and incorporated architectural elements in his paintings that depicted idealized, romanticized views of classical civilization, especially ancient Rome. Wilner used two of Sir Frederic Lord Leightron’s favorite tabernacle frames – One for Leighton and one for Godward. Eli Wilner & Company is the world’s largest resource for antique American and European frames. Recently, Eli Wilner & Company completed reframing 28 paintings for the White House. As a specialist in period framing for over 30 years, Eli Wilner has worked with museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
