Where (and how) to frame this?

@bernard Sorry! I've used postimage for years with no problems, but lately it seems buggy.
Can you see the direct links? You'll have to click.

Yeah, a little dress up would be appropriate. I’d make it different than that group of three. In groupings you want an odd number and it really doesn’t fit in with them so much.

A plain black frame, like you have on the other art works, no mat.

Black frame, no mat and then the calligraphy board?
I worry that the little gold trim would get lost like that. Hmmm…
Also I would love for the total piece to be four inches wider (which is what I guess would be added with a standard 2” mat) because the place I want to put it is rather empty. And just frame without mat wouldn’t have the size bump.

You could use the same frame. I just like the idea of pulling out the red a bit and red/gold combos work well.
@Mik yeah, I was wondering about bringing out the red or gold.
Also our walls are a cram color, not as yellow as they might seem in the photos, but between the white of the calligraphy and the cream walls, it’s a lot of bland-ness.
I’ll try to share a photo of the wall space tmrw.

Bunch of images of framed Japanese calligraphy.

Edit: I actually kind of like how the piece looks on the wood table you have it on. Would it be possible to have it mounted on a piece of beautiful wood somehow? Not a typical frame and no glass.

@ShiroKuro Oh, I didn't realize there was a gold border. A mat would cover that up. Maybe mount it on a background with a plain black frame?
